Yeasayer

Yeasayer will followup 2010’s Odd Blood with their third full length, Fragrant World, which is due out on August 21 via Secretly Canadian. The album’s first single, “Henrietta,” is an even farther departure from their psychedelic folk roots with a heavy dose of R&B that began peaking through on the Pet Sounds-via-Merriweather Post Pavillion informed Odd Blood and is now here fully formed. Grab an MP3 of the track above, or stream it below alongside the album’s tracklist.

Yeasayer will support the album on tour this summer with a string of dates that hits NYC for a show at Central Park Summerstage on September 12.
