A little over a year ago I saw Yeasayer open for The National in Central Park. I had already been a big fan of their debut album All Hour Cymbals so I obviously enjoyed their set which included a couple of new songs, "Ambling Alp" being one of them. It's without a doubt the popiest thing the band has produced thus far and boy, is it catchy. Like most of their tracks, it starts out with some Animal Collective-esque psychadelia via manipulated field recordings and then erupts into a percussive pysch-pop jam. A bit of a left turn from their past material but its a fantastic song nonetheless.
