“Phoenix Wind”
from the single End Blood
2011

To mark Record Store Day on April 16, Brooklyn indie acolytes Yeasayer put out a “limited-edition” colored-vinyl 7-inch by the name of End Blood. The release offered fans two tracks that came from the sessions for their 2010 LP Odd Blood but never made it on to the final mix. Both tracks will get a digital release on May 3.

According to the band’s official website, the two songs, “Phoenix Wind” and “Swallowing the Decibels,” make up “two ideas that didn’t fit on [their 2010 album] Odd Blood. They were tucked away in a drawer until today. We are releasing these two tracks to purge our brains and make way for new sounds/ideas and more importantly to support Record Store Day.”
