Chris Keating, formerly of the great Brooklyn art-rockers Yeasayer, goes solo today with the single “Way I Know How.” It comes from ‘PolyDukes,’ an EP he made with producer/songwriter Elias Abid that also includes a cover of Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up.” Stereogum talked to Keating about the new tunes, why Yeasayer broke up, MC Skat Kat, meeting Jay-Z, and the glory days of 2010s indie success.
