Brooklyn-based psych-rockers, Yeasayer just unveiled a 23-second teaser posted as the only item of information on their current website.  Whether the brief-video-snippet reveals a forthcoming album from the trio is still up in the air.

It’s been three-long-years since the expansive prog-outfit released their intuitive, Fragrant World.  Poised amid the ominous piano tones baring no semblance to a decipherable chord-progression, the jaunted video-clip, invariably titled: “Amen & Goodbye” screams ambiguity as it circumvents a stifling statue hollowed in the face, holding nothing more than a sheep in its grasp.  It’s not clear whether or not the band is bidding a fond farewell or the promise of more music to come in the near future.

Having first gained the attention of a broad-audience at the SXSW Music and Arts festival in the spring of 2007, Yeasayer consists of core members: Chris Keating, Ira Wolf Tuton, Anand Wilder, and Cale Parks to round out an eclectic-flavor of artists.  Playing the likes of: Escape Music Festival and Coachella, the experimental-stalwart’s depend on the principal songwriting skills of co-frontmen/vocalists: Keating and Wilder as the rest of the band fleshes out the musical-phrases as whole.

In an interview with Pitchfork, Anand Wilder, who started his musical-prowess at age four playing the cello, explains Yeasayer’s writing premise:

When I write a song, I’m always thinking of the harmonies; for me the song doesn’t really exist without the harmonies.  For example, ‘Forgiveness’ would be a really boring melody without the choir behind it.  Chris resisted any formal musical training, but his sense of melody and songcraft is just astounding.
