Yeasayer

Yeasayer, the experimental rock band from Brooklyn, have not merely settled into the realm of music but have also made some remarkable strides in music videos. The band's out-of-the-box approach to visual arts has been largely guided by a mixture of surrealism and innovation, yielding some dynamic, unique and definitively edgy music videos. Yeasayer's intrinsic ties to visual arts can be attributed to their thoughtful, artistic, and sophisticated image, largely the result of the painstaking work done by talented video directors.

Videos like "Madder Red" directed by Andreas Nilsson took an absolutely unpredictable and mesmerizing turn by featuring a sick, dying pet that turns out to be, well, an amorphous blob. The concept of a pet blob sounds absurd, right? But somehow, it appealed to the audience, drifting across the realms of fantasy and reality with seamless ease. Another excellent example of their artistic direction is in the video for "I Am Chemistry," where director duo New Media Ltd created an engaging animation with grotesque yet morbidly fascinating creatures, against catchy tunes. In a departure from convention, Yeasayer's "Ambling Alp" video with its surreal visuals, designed by Radical Friend, has the band members going through various transformations in some bizarre ritualistic initiation. Yeasayer's journey through the medium of music videos has left them with a reputation for being unconventional, creative and consummately unique. Leave it to them to transform the strange into the extraordinary!
