Freaky Rock Act Yeasayer Gets Freakier (and Even More Ambitious) on 'Fragrant World'
''Folk Hero Shtick," an especially trippy track on psych-rock trio Yeasayer's third album, "Fragrant World," was written about an "annoying rock star" who was completely out of touch with reality, according to the band's Anand Wilder. "The emperor's standing naked/How much longer can he fake it?," seethes vocalist/keyboardist Chris Keating on the track, as a sinister guitar line twists around his words.
