Tagversüßer des Tages Vol.165



Yeasayer mit "Wait For The Summer".

--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Ein eher beschwingt klingender hippiesker Mid-Tempo-Song, der von düsteren, todessehnsüchtigen, geradezu brachialen Lyrics kontrastiert wird: Das polyphone "Wait For The Summer" war eine Single aus Yeasayers erstem Album All Hour Cymbals (2007). Auf die zweite Platte Odd Blood (Februar 2010, mit der Single "Ambling Alb") warte ich schon seit Wochen ungeduldig.

Das grafisch virtuouse Musikvideo mit der Apfel-Umlaufbahn und den Käfern und weiteren animierten Details tauchte in vielen Video-Bestenlisten auf. Z.B. gelangte "Wait For The Summer" auf Platz 14 in jene vom Spin Magazine (link!). und wurde von Mixtape Club im Jahre 2008 gedreht.

Mixtape Club presents the official music video for Yeasayer's "Wait For The Summer". Inspired by Yeasayer's polyphonic harmony and tribal sound, this video follows migrating beetles, cosmic apple orbits, and primal spirits through the cycles of the planets and seasons.

The single was released via We Are Free on 10 March 2008 (digital) and 17 March 2008 (limited-edition 7"). The original track can be found on the band's 2007 release All Hour Cymbals.

"Wait For The Summer" has been selected for official competition in SXSW 2009, NEMO, 2008 Bitfilm Festival, and Animation Block Party 2008 Summerfest. It is also listed as one of the Best Music Videos of 2008 by Spin Magazine, Pitchfork Media, The Tripwire, SproutBlog, and VH1's Best Week Ever.
