Today, Yeasayer released their new album, Odd Blood, which is still working its way through my brain. The band has always been amazing live and bring those talents to the Majestic Theatre in Madison along with Sleigh Bells on Wednesday, April 28th. Odd Blood is currently available as a $3.99 digital download here.

Also out today is Hot Chip’s One Life Stand which was just given Best New Music props over at P4K. We’ve been big fans of their previous records and their live shows are always great. We’re leaning towards making the trek to Chicago to catch them and the xx at the Riviera on Friday, April 19th.

News:

I just concluded my first listen of the upcoming 4-song EP from Hot Chip, featuring contributions from Robert Wyatt and Geese.

It’s a great follow up to Made In The Dark, which made our list of favorite releases of 2008. You can currently download the track “We’re Looking For A Lot of Love” from the new EP for free right here.

I needed an excuse to revisit Hot Chip’s Made in the Dark. Sometimes those early year releases get forgotten in the storm of new records arriving throughout the rest of the year. I sadly missed their set at Austin City Limits this year, but can easily say they’re one of my favorite live acts. The video above is one of my favorite tracks on the new album and features a guest appearance by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem.
