yeasayer's odd blood.

oh oh oh. the new album by brooklyn-based yeasayer, odd blood, does not disappoint. it's definitely a departure from their previous release, 2007's all hour cymbals. it's a little bit more electronic, infusing middle-eastern sounds and a plethora of synth, feedback, vocal samples that in "love me girl," for example, sound like depeche mode's making an appearance. so amazing, really. i've listened to "ambling alp" several dozen times at this point, since i've had it for a while. but it's so great to have the rest of the album to give it some context now.

amore mio low chair.

via jon goulder

because i'm totally on a mid-century modern kick right now (i was drooling over todd oldham's hand made modern book at work the other day), i saw these chairs and their correspondingly spectacular furniture friends and thought they were perfect! there is a coffee table to match, and also on the jon goulder website (he's quite good in all his designs!) he has a credenza that is really, really cool. i never used to care about furniture at all until i started decorating a tabula rasa apartment. not to mention that i my burgeoning love of modern residential architecture sort of goes hand-in-hand with what can go inside those houses! little finds like this are always a treat.



to come... yeasayer's new album, odd blood, scheduled to drop february 9!
