Yeasayer: Spotify U.S. homepage takeover, Sirius XMU Complete Control, BBC Album of the Day + more
Yeasayer’s new album Erotic Reruns is out now and has been met with raves and a number of tremendous spotlights. Today, Spotify is featuring Yeasayer as their homepage takeover in the U.S.
Erotic Reruns distills a decade of twisted, paranoid pop into the Brooklyn band’s most direct, cut-to-the-bone album yet. Over 9 crisp and compact new songs, Yeasayer balance a sardonic and chilling reaction to dark times with moments of warmth and self-reflection. The album was self-produced by the band at their home studios dotted around New York State.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
*Sirius XMU "Complete Control" - guest DJ hour-long segment aired last week
*BBC6 Album of the Day featured last week
*Billboard in Times Square on release day
*Heavy rotation on Sirius XMU
*National US tour: 28 shows in every major North American market
Including LA’s Teragram Ballroom June 29 and NYC’s Webster Hall July 13
*Watch the video for “Ecstatic Baby” here:

USA Today, A.V. Club summer album previews
“In a lilt with an electronic pulse — glancing back at the Cars — Yeasayer pinpoints where the promise of convenience meets the threat of constant surveillance" -New York Times
"Erotic Reruns is taut, melodic and relentlessly upbeat, the band’s most immediate and danceable release since 2010’s single-generator Odd Blood" -Billboard
"...sheer experiential pleasure…it's a half-hour bop for the American experiment's gradual decay" -Paste
“Veering between sing-along psych-pop and moments of fuller indulgence…this nine-song follow-up strikes a neat balance between the two” -Clash Magazine
“Ecstatic Baby" is one of this summer's premiere tracks” -Under the Radar
"Rich with addictive charm", 8.5 out of 10 -Line of Best Fit
“Streamlining arrangements and song structures more so than in the past, the album's pop-leaning blend of dance-funk and the softer side of classic album rock is their most accessible yet” -All Music
“There’s just something about Yeasayer’s way of writing music that simply can’t be denied” -Magnetic Magazine
“Quite possibly one of the bubbliest tracks in the Brooklyn trio’s 12-year history…it’s pure joy” -Buzz Bands LA
