On our planet, musicians are often plagued with the sophomore slump, a roadblock on the path of consistent success that leads to distasteful music that sounds either too reminiscent of their successful formulas or too distant from their signature sounds.

Fortunately for Yeasayer, their music appears to be out of this world, so the rules don't seem to apply.

For Odd Blood, the psychedelic group infused the textures of nearly every single genre and musical era while maintaining the distinct characteristics that make the unfiltered and always experimental band so unique.

From beginning to end, the record is an epic, twisted combination of generations past, present and future: Odd Blood is the ’80s fighting to continue living his far too exciting life, looking out for his futuristic and sometimes too loud “[The] Children,” trying to recall all the nostalgic memories of his past lovers in “I Remember” and only surviving by being connected to the symphonic I.V. “Mondegreen,” that propels pop into the veins of three decades past.

The band’s conduction of pop, synth and rock will leave you feeling like you, yourself, were part of the bizarre experiment. And when the side effects of singing along and moving to the rhythm begin to appear, you’ll think: “Well, that’s bloody odd.”
