Yeasayer Unveils "Silly Me" Video, North American Tour Underway

YEASAYER

SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR “SILLY ME”  THE PREQUEL TO “I AM CHEMISTRY” DIRECTED BY MIKE ANDERSON  “SILLY ME” IS TAKEN FROM THE NEW ALBUM AMEN & GOODBYE, OUT NOW ON MUTE

“pushing the boundaries of experimental pop since 2007” – Entertainment Weekly  “Yeasayer remains the definitive tether of originality for music today." – Grimy Goods  “Amen & Goodbye channels the trio’s technical virtuosity into sheer, exhilarating joy.” – NYLON "A beautiful, trippy, mind-blowing album with smart, catchy songwriting." – Popmatters “ushering you toward a new level of consciousness.” – The Verge

Today, Yeasayer shares their new video for “Silly Me,” the band’s current single from their recently released fourth studio album, Amen & Goodbye.  Directed by Mike Anderson / New Media Ltd, the odd and fascinating video is the prequel to “I Am Chemistry” and is available to watch here. Explains Anderson, “We use a pretty unique approach; pretty much everything in every frame is handmade and hand-painted. We then 3D scan all of it, bringing it into the computer so it's entirely recreated digitally. We record motion-capture of performers and apply the data to the characters for the animation. The lighting is all done in the computer. So while the final product is ostensibly CGI, nearly everything you're seeing is a digital record of something we directed or fabricated in real-life. Best of all worlds.” Amen & Goodbye is the follow-up to 2012’s Fragrant World. Watch the video for their previous single, “I Am Chemistry” here, featuring guest vocals from the legendary folk singer Suzzy Roche of The Roches. --------- Yeasayer are currently on tour in North America (with Young Magic as support), and will return to the UK and Europe in June.  Full dates below.
