Live Album – Modern Mystery

Yeasayer Release Live Album

Yeasayer have decided that 2010 was such a good year they had to give something back to their fans.

With that spirit in mind, the band has opened its audio vaults and released a live album for download. You can snag Live at Ancienne Belgique on their website and the band even lets you choose the price for the album (yes, free is an option).

The album was recorded on October 28^th of last year in Brussels. The track list looks like this:

01 Madder Red

02 Rome

03 Wait for the Summer

04 Tightrope

05 Red Cave

06 Grizelda

07 Sunrise

08 Mondegreen

09 Strange Reunions

10 O.N.E.

11 Ambling Alp

12 The Children

13 2080

Hopewell have been rocking eardrums for the better part of a decade with their fuzz-pop sound, so it’s a bit odd that they’re just deciding to release their first live album now.

Luckily for us, the live album , Hopewell Live has been split into two volumes. Volume I features the band as they are today, a gigantic creature with two drummers and multiple instrumentalists. The band used recordings from their three-night Truck Festival America performance from earlier this year.

On the contrary, Volume II set to be released early next year, hearkens back to a youthful Hopewell. It features more of the band’s earlier material and was recorded by the band’s original lineup.

Coincidentally, the band has also announced that they’re going on tour with The Dandy Warhols this fall. You can check them out live here.
