Yeasayer release 'Amen & Goodbye' on April 1

For their fourth album, Amen & Goodbye, the trio settled on a radically different approach: record as a band, live to 2” tape in the wilds of upstate New York and embrace the classicism of the album as an art form.

The title might sound like the band's closing statement; it's not – it's them recalibrating what it means to be a recording artist in today's world, not as a gang of three guys, but as three men with new families and changing situations and altering perspectives. "In a span of four years, a lot changes. Not just in life changing ways like having a child, but in nuanced ways too. The title isn't fatalism, it's about letting go and not being precious – in life and in art. Making an album is an exercise in challenging ourselves as a band."
