Free Music Review: Odd Blood
Hit: 5 Stars
Yeasayer's album Odd Blood begins with "The Children", a song that has a very dark feel from the use of distorted vocals as well as a slow, driving rhythm. The song progresses and is full of lush ambience as well as a nice piano melody that comes in at various places throughout the song. The next song, "Ambling Alp", has a much more upbeat feeling to it. This is achieved through the use of a more upbeat tempo, as well as a catchy chorus hook. Ultimately, "Ambling Alp" has a much happier feel than the first track of the album, and this upbeat style is continued on the next song "Madder Red", which has almost an eighties feeling to it as it has a very glossy finish that is reminiscent of that decade. Furthermore, the song has a more traditional feel to it as it utilizes less sampled sounds, although the song still is based upon synthesizers.
"I Remember" is the next song and it begins with a nice ambient texture that is present throughout the song. However, as the song progresses, it builds upon its beat and adds elements of melody to the ambient background. Ultimately, "I Remember" is a very relaxing listening experience due to its wandering nature and laid-back feel. "O.N.E." follows and begins with a strong beat, and adds synthesizers to create a very catchy song that is full of energy, a nice contrast after the calmer "I Remember". Next comes "Love Me Girl", a song that begins slowly but quickly accelerates once the percussion section begins, creating a rhythm that is somewhat reminiscent of the tango. This song has a much clubbier feel than its predecessors on the album, most likely because of its deep bass and fast tempo. "Rome" follows and somehow sounds very retro yet modern at the same time. This is achieved because the song's tempo and beat sound very vintage, yet the music is generated electronically resulting in a very unique sound that emulates older rock and roll music, yet puts it into a digital format. "Strange Reunions" begins with a sound that is reminiscent of music from the eastern hemisphere as there are synthesized sounds in the background that are highly reminiscent of sitars. Furthermore, the vocal style is similar to a hymn rather making the song sound even less western. Ultimately, the song is a very relaxed piece, in contrast to "Mondegreen" which begins with a very upbeat, harsh rhythm and almost frantic sounding vocals. This song contrasts very well with "Strange Reunions" as it is almost completely opposite, employing a horn section and much more defined melodies rather than the hazy ambience present in "Strange Reunions". However, the song makes a drastic change around the 3:30 mark as it loses its melody and beat, turning into an ambient atmosphere. The final song on the album, "Grizelda", is a very nice finish to the album as it is a both relaxing and powerful song. While it has a relatively slow tempo, the song manages to be full of energy and is a very rewarding listening experience. Ultimately, Odd Blood as a whole provides a very unique and interesting listening, with songs for every mood one may be in.
Odd Blood Poster
Since the release of their critically acclaimed 2007 debut All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer has been around the world and back again. While their first record was conceived in total artistic isolation, constant touring forced Yeasayer to finally engage with their contemporaries. If All Hour Cymbals was Yeasayer's attempt at global and ambient cultural mash-up then their new album, ODD BLOOD, takes place in an off-world colony sometime after the Singularity. Glimmering reverb haze is eschewed and replaced by a cavalcade of disorienting pitch effects and flickering ectoplasmic wisps.Pop Music CDs
