Odd Blood, Yeasayer’s follow up to 2007’s All Hour Cymbals is due out on the 8th day of February in this bright, fresh new year. I spoke to Ira and Chris about pop music, visual aesthetics and if the American indie music scene has started to lead the way over the British.
TLOBF: So first I want to talk a little bit about your perceptions of indie in the UK at the moment, because you guys maybe have some early British indie influences but how do you think that compares to current the scene in UK.
Chris: I don’t really know what the indie scene in the UK is, to be honest actually. I don’t know if there even is an indie scene here.
See now I would say that East Coast American indie is producing some amazing stuff right now.
Are we East Coast American Indie?
Yes. For the purposes of this conversation, yes.
Hahaha, okay. We can play that game!
