Yeasayer - Wait For The Summer

B-Sides. A graveyard of album off-cuts, cover songs and live recordings. However there are actually bands that can spread their magic over two sides of shiny vinyl, and Yeasayer are a case in point. Sure, Wait For The Summer is bloody ace in an Animal Collective gap year stylee, but it's Final Path that's the real gem. Tribal rhythms, guitars that sound like sitars (or is it the other way around), and an unshakeable chorus chant that'll wedge your mind open to the possibility that even panpipes are acceptable in music. Somewhere David Byrne is smiling, comfortable in the knowledge that his legacy is in safe hands. [Darren Carle]
