While our intrepid readers were sleeping in and stuffing their guts, the OMA crew took to the high seas on the SS Coachella this holiday season to check out one of this year’s most innovative music festivals. In the midst of finding our sea legs — and fighting for a prime hot-tubbing spot — we spoke with a cadre of bands about their top innovations of 2012 as well as what it’s like to play tunes while catching waves. First up, we caught up with Yeasayer, who seemed to be suffering from a case of cabin fever.
