Yeasayer have announced that the latest single to be taken from their acclaimed album 'Fragrant World', is the gothic and very addictive 'Reagan’s Skeleton’. Due for release on 26th November via Mute, ‘Reagan’s Skeleton’ has already been championed by Zane Lowe and Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1 and John Kennedy on Xfm.
The new video, featuring a live performance of 'Reagan’s Skeleton', is directed by acclaimed artist and film makers Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard who have previously collaborated with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Yeasayer have also rescheduled their European tour for December 2012. The tour will catch the band on the 'Fragrant World' Tour featuring all of their new songs, re-workings of old, and previously unreleased tracks as well as their new light and stage show.
Researched and constructed over the last few months, Yeasayer's new stage design (pictured) is built of mirrored structures (some 9 feet tall) that serve to reflect and redirect light, receive projections, or glow from the seams like a living organism. The whole effect is alien looking and fits in with Yeasayer's otherworldly sounds. A highly ambitious project, it continues to show Yeasayer’s dedication to elevate the fans’ live experience and expands their aesthetic to beyond just playing their songs live. More photos of the stage design can be found here, whilst a documentary about the project is available to watch online here.
