Odd Blood

Odd Blood is the second studio album by American indie rock band Yeasayer, released on February 8, 2010, in Europe and a day later in North America, with Secretly Canadian as the primary label. The album was recorded and self-produced by the band themselves in the state of New York during 2009. "Ambling Alp", "O.N.E.", "Madder Red", and "I Remember" were released as singles. Odd Blood peaked at number 63 on the US Billboard 200 and at number 64 on the UK Albums Chart. It reached number five on the US Billboard Independent Albums chart. Yeasayer followed the record's release with an extended tour throughout 2010. Odd Blood was mostly crafted with engineer Steve Revitte in a secluded cabin studio. During the sessions, Yeasayer experimented with different types of instruments and recording machines. Auxiliary musicians were hired to help with the process. The idea was to marry sonic experimentation with pop structures, while primary songwriters Chris Keating and Anand Wilder explored a variety of themes such as boxing, addiction, and paranoia. Odd Blood also contains several love songs. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_Blood) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
