Yeasayer Set to Release Fragrant World on Aug 21, 2012 Via Secretly Canadian

Last week, the band sent 200 random fans physical CD of the first single Henrietta and encouraged them to share it. Yeasayer wanted the fans to experience the music first and told them so in an accompanying letter. The track went up a few days later and was picked up across the world via an organic viral method: direct to fans.

Yeasayer have produced something that sounds foreign at first, but after a few studies is filled with the hooks the band is known for. This is not a dish of pop rocks like Odd Blood, instead Fragrant World is something much weirder and darker.
