Brooklyn’s finest experimental rockers, YEASAYER, are returning to Australia for their first headline tour in over seven years, performing fan favourites from their stellar discography as well as tracks from their latest album, Erotic Reruns.
Led by singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Chris Keating, Anand Wilder and bassist Ira Wolf Tuton, YEASAYER have taken fans on an eclectic, genre-bending journey into psych-rock, pop, rock, Middle Eastern, African, folk, and dub throughout their career.
Erotic Reruns is the 5th full length from YEASAYER and stands out as one of the band’s best albums to date due to its singular vision. Light years removed from the band’s 2007 opening volley, All Hour Cymbals, it distills a decade of twisted, paranoid pop into the Brooklyn band’s most direct, cut-to-the-bone release yet. The record encourages its audience to ponder the important issues that define our maddening, speed of light era of content consumption. Inspired by the events surrounding the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the societal and political commentary is erudite and trenchant.
Having sold out shows on their previous Australian tours, don’t miss the long-waited return of YEASAYER in February 2020.
