Yeasayer’s new album Fragrant World is officially out August 21. Via a review copy, I can say its a step in a new direction for Yeasayer. They still maintain their trademark psychedelic elements, yet Fragrant World is much more electronic oriented. It even includes a fair share of auto-tune styled vocals. Anyhow, Yeasayer has decided to stream the album online a little early. But here’s the catch: the album is streaming online now, you just have to find it. They’ve set up a scavenger hunt online to find each of the album’s tracks. A statement from the band explains more:
HEADING: PSCYVOTV
FROM: YEASAYER
DATE: 9:24am. Aug. 1. 2012
We have received a message that we are on the verge of embargoed information being leaked through the cracks of the digital universe. Once again an attempt to tell the story before our mouths can spit. In order to have the edge we have created PSCYVOTV standing for PREEMPTIVE SELF-COMMISSIONED YEASAYER VORSTELLUNG or TRACK VISUALIZER.
Using the talents of Yoshi Sodeoka we have created a moving visual for every song on our new album FRAGRANT WORLD and have hidden them all over the internet. The visuals will live on the web until Friday Aug. 3, at 8pm EST. You’ll have a few days to find, listen, and most importantly, hear the album from our hands first. At 8pm sharp PSCYVOTV will be removed.
If you find all the visuals remember the track listing:
1. Fingers Never Bleed
2. Longevity
3. Blue Paper
4. Henrietta
5. Devil and the Deed
6. No Bones
7. Reagan’s Skeleton
8. Demon Road
9. Damaged Goods
10. Folk Hero Schtick
11. Glass of the MicroscopePlease remember, it’s fun to share, but more important to support.
*Warning: PSCYVOTV may cure depression or boredom.
