ReviewsRolling Stone (p.79) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "LP Three is a forlorn R&B fiesta, from the wry LCD Soundsystem disco of 'Reagan's Skeleton' to 'Henrietta,' in which Chris Keating croons over a black caldron of keyboard burble." Q (Magazine) (p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "When it works, it's a glorious thing, pitching them above moment-chasing contemporaries....The further out Yeasayer go, the better they get..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Now producing a nearly all-electronic sound, the result bursts with strange synth noises and clanging, pot-and-pans drums..." Paste (magazine) - "FRAGRANT WORLD smooshes the synthy beats of artists like Depeche Mode with '90s-era R&B and contemporary electronic music to make a record that's all their own."

Additional informationBrooklyn indie experimentalists Yeasayer return with their third album, Fragrant World, a continuation of the murky textures and psychedelic melodies of their sophomore effort, 2010's Odd Blood. The album was recorded in various Brooklyn studios throughout the fall of 2011, with mixing sessions taking place in the early months of 2012 and the finishing touches being handled by Bat for Lashes producer Dan Carey in London. Apart from a broad range of hallucinatory experiments with synthesizers and effects pedals by the band, special guests were called in to augment the cracked pop songs, including Kishi Bashi on strings and a kalimba overdub from Nomo's Elliot Bergman. Before the album's release, the band and their label conducted a digital scavenger hunt, hiding links to YouTube videos for each of the albums 11 tracks on various websites, allowing fans to search them out and stream the album in its entirety weeks before the release. The videos added incredibly trippy visuals to the songs, and acted as teasers for the record, being disabled a few days after all their locations were widely reported on.
