Time Out New York, on Yeasayer bassist Ira Wolf Tuton:

Tuton also demonstrates a Marty Markowitz–level knowledge of the borough, a feat for a native Philadelphian. Keating and Wilder are from Baltimore—they met long ago in school, and Keating’s cousin is married to Tuton’s sister—but they all categorically consider themselves to be a Brooklyn band. With all the fuss being made about a “Brooklyn sound,” Yeasayer views it more simply: “No other community embraced us at all,” Keating says.
