Shapes and Sizes are Canadian imports making a splash on Sufjan
Stevens Asthmatic Kitty Records. The off-kilter time signatures and
quirky instrumentation recall Deerhoof and Bloomington's favorite sons
The Impossible Shapes.They are a hodgepodge of sounds and ideas that
come together to create a piece of indie-rock perfection that is a
treat for the ears.

Brooklyn natives Yeasayer return to the Bloomington stomping grounds
where they wowed audiences opening for Frog Eyes. The groups music is
as richly diverse as the members themselves and the burrough they call
home. Much like TV on the Radio, Yeasayer's music is a perfect
amalgamation of gospel, funk, disco, pop, rock, and soul. In a sense,
take everything that is good about music over the past 50 years or so.
Throw it all into a blender and let it marinate in the art-rock
inflected sheen of Brooklyn and you have the aural joy that is
Yeasayer.
