        releasenotes

    Ever since their debut almost ten years ago, psych-pop experimentalists
  Yeasayer have never ceased to thrill. Fusing a vast array of musical styles
  from 80s electro to hazy dream folk as well as showcasing clear African and
  Middle Eastern influences, the band appear to have revelled in their inability
  to be too quickly pigeonholed. However, 2012's Fragrant World proved
  somewhat divisive among fans and critics. Muddled and bloated with ideas, it
  felt wildly incoherent and less satisfying than previous outings. Their fourth
  album, "Amen & Goodbye" sees them, for the most part, at their delirious and
  playful best.

  This is perhaps best encapsulated by the superb one-two punch of "I Am
  Chemistry" and "Silly Me". The former features the sort of exquisitely
  crafted, shapeshifting musical backdrop we╞ve come to expect from the
  Brooklynites, and the way its oscillating synth break gives way to piano and
  choir (yes, a choir) is a touch of brilliance. The latter on the other hand,
  recalls the danceable pop peak of "O.N.E.". The ethereal µProphecy Gun╞ is the
  band at their most affecting, slowly building to a slightly mad but beautiful
  wail of a crescendo.

  The brief, sometimes instrumental tracks woven throughout the album are less
  essential and seem more like a distraction from the main event. Despite the
  prominent use of electronics, Yeasayer successfully manage to meld together
  the delicious organic textures of their debut with the electro pop
  sensibilities of 2010 breakthrough "Odd Blood". "Amen & Goodbye" is
  undoubtedly a strong return but also one that╞s just a couple of tracks short
  of something genuinely great.
