Hearts were pounding this Valentine's Day at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, but it wasn't all thanks to Cupid. Instead, the borough's own cherubs of percussion-heavy, worldbeat-leaning, kitchen sink pop Yeasayer were spreading the love found on All Our Cymbals and helping showgoers' ventricles sync up with the quartet's infectious rhythms. And, of course, dodging projectile candy hearts all the while.

Also on-hand for the love-in: fellow Brooklynites MGMT and Chairlift, who all joined Yeasayer later in the set for a big ol' hypno-jam.

Yeasayer roll through Philly tonight before skipping the pond for about a month. Then it's back Stateside for a meet-up with Man Man, then back UK-ways for that ATP vs. Pitchfork thinger. Even their travel plans have rhythm!
