Yeasayer ‘Henrietta’

Yeasayer, rather sweetly it has to be said, sent out signed physical copies of their new single Henrietta to fans subscribed to their mailing list recently. We aren’t living in the dark ages however, so thankfully, through the wonder of the internet, the track was soon uploaded online for everyone’s ears. It seems pretty certain that this signals the imminent arrival of a new album from the band, but who knows. I don’t really like the song to be honest: if I had to describe it I’d call it ‘chillwave reggae’, which it turns out doesn’t sound nearly as awesome as you’d think. But it does seem like the kind of track that might grow on me with repeated listens, and a lot of people seem to be digging it, so who am I to judge it. Anyway, here it is.
