Mar 30, 2016With the aid of deft production and mild restraint, Amen & Goodbye is well within therapeutic range. Its hybrid of analogue and digital techniques have allowed Yeasayer to create their most enthralling and satisfying record to date.

Apr 5, 2016Where this album sets itself apart is with Roche, her contributions otherworldly and out of time, strange Wicker Man chants both charming and sinister. Her siren song laces Amen & Goodbye's best moments.

Apr 22, 2016The blend of half-real and fake bodies, the beautiful and grotesque, sum up what makes this such a fun listen.

UncutMar 24, 2016A typically excellent set of unusual songs. [May 2016, p.82]

Apr 6, 2016The band are far from fans of modern pop and their twisted take on the genre continues to beguile and enchant in equal measure, but the ideas never overwhelm their fourth album. As a result, their return sees them get back to something like their captivating best.

Q MagazineMar 24, 2016Amen & Goodbye is an all-on-black attempt to rediscover their mojo. By and large, it's successful... The only minor caveat is that in the search for sonic and lyric transcendence, the band give off the slight air of Christina rock project. [May 2016, p.104]

Mar 24, 2016Yeasayer constantly threaten to come out with a startling album; alas, Amen and Goodbye isn’t it.
