All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer's debut album, landed on the independent We Are Free label on 23 October 2007, the same year the Brooklyn band had turned heads at SXSW. Chris Keating and Anand Wilder, who'd first played together as high school kids in Baltimore, split the lead vocals and most of the songwriting, Ira Wolf Tuton completed the core, and the three produced it together as a unit.
What they came up with is experimental rock as a kind of psychedelic tent revival: stacked, chanting harmonies and a woozy, rhythmic swirl that never settles into one genre for long, with "2080" as its strangest earworm. Spin, NME, Pitchfork and Entertainment Weekly all came around, and Pitchfork later put it at number 197 on its list of the 2000s' top 200 albums. By 2012 it had sold more than 55,000 copies in the US. Odd Blood came next.
