US trio Yeasayer are musical magpies, cut from the same cloth as acts like MGMTor Santogold. “Odd Blood” is their sophomore disc, comprising catchy jittery electronic Pop with a myriad of influences.
The woozy “Strange Reunions” has a Middle Eastern feel as does “Madder Red” (with a hummed wordless chorus), while the psychedelic clap-filled ballad “I [...]
I started listening to Hot Chip shortly after The Warning came out, in 2006, and I fell in love with the band’s knack for writing catchy, melodic, and danceable tunes.

This is Pearl Jam’s best album of the 2000s. Continuing where Pearl Jam left off, the band matches the energy of their last outing with better, tighter songs. The lyrics (notably, all are credited to Vedder) are exceptional. No longer bound by anti-Bush righteous rage, Vedder seems to feel freed to sing songs with more [...]
