Third up in our albums of the decade series is ‘All Hour Cymbals’ by Yeasayer, kindly picked by Dan Djan. Dan is the bass player in the very good band Fiction (let their spiky little numbers lick your brain here), seems to be a pretty casually successful artist and- along with us at INFTC- organises gigs under the banner of ‘Kids’. Here’s what he has to say: 

Possibly not THE album of the decade, i agree, but personally definitely one of the most important.
Nick, our guitarist, gave me this album around the time I started playing bass for Fiction and it has taught me a lot about how to structure your playing effectively.

‘All Hour Cymbal’ has some of the nicest harmonies ever, rather intriguing sounds and songwriting and with ’2080′ and ‘Forgiveness’ two of my most-played songs of the decade.

I have been told that with their new album they’re going into a more electronica-sounding direction, so I’m very much looking forward to 2010 and ‘Odd Blood’.
