After 3 white winter months (Feb-Apr ‘09) in upstate NY at the Marotta cabin, Yeasayer wrote & layered songs for #2 (album title TBA, rumored title: Odd Blood). The tracks were then transported to Great City in NYC for mixing & the microscope.

Out of these sessions came “Ambling Alp,” which was elected as the first single for Yeasayer’s sophomore album. A stand out from their recent live set, the band reworked the song into its former: a pop anthem.

The 12″ single contains remixes by friends Memory Tapes & DJ/rupture & is Yeasayer’s first release on US label Secretly Canadian (out tomorrow 11.03).
