Amen & Goodbye

"Amen & Goodbye" is the fourth studio album by American experimental rock band Yeasayer, released on April 1, 2016 on Mute. Yeasayer recorded live as a band for the first time in the wilderness of upstate New York, with Amen & Goodbye requiring an atypically long four years to release, explained at least in part by a rainstorm leak that damaged much of their tapes. That same storm was recorded for the background noise in “Gerson’s Whistle,” which appropriately concludes, “Troublemakers make the world go round.” The cover art was created by sculptor David Altmejd, and was described by the band as, "Sgt Pepper meets Hieronymous Bosch meets Dali meets PeeWee's Playhouse."
