Karen O – Crush Songs Source The Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer announced that she will release her first solo album, Crush Songs, in September this year via Casablancas’ label, Cult. The songs for Karen O’s Crush Songs were actually recorded between 2006 and 2007, and according to the former The Strokes singer: So excited, lucky and proud to be involved with such a classic album—I just wanna listen to it all day….
As I was telling you a few days ago, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back! They promise to bring back charisma and sexuality “back into the fray” with their new album “Mosquito”. You can listen to the sample track “Sacrilege” here. Singer Karen O explained that she misses the gnarl and energy of the early-2000s music scene, when she and the band started: “I miss the bands that were around when we first started out….
If ‘Sacrilege’ is anything, then it’s a return to the roots. Listening to it made me feel very close to the band’s early days, when the alternative trio made (if you ask me) their best music. After all, Karen O promised us a more rough-and-ready followup, similar in tone to their debut: “It’s extremely lo-fi,” Karen O told Pitchfork last month of the band’s latest effort, Mosquito. “We had a shitty drum machine, a shitty…
Since their third studio effort It’s Blitz (2009), gutsy New York threesome Yeah Yeah Yeahs have remained all-too-quiet on the music scene. The four-year silence was broken, however, when the group announced the drop date of its fourth album, dubbed Mosquito (yes, for the insect), two weeks ago on their site. The YYYs have also pledged to play a slough of new dates, including the two weekends of Coachella. When asked about the record, which has been in-the-works since…
Stupid is fun alright, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O cover of Roger Alan Wade’s “If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough” for the Jackass 3D soundtrack kinda nails the spirit. Sung with a country twang and southern accent, Karen’s version provides a nice first listen of the Jackass 3D soundtrack out digitally October 12, which also features tracks from the likes of Weezer, Twisted Sister, and N.A.S.A.’s Squeak E. Clean remix of…
A few months ago, I expressed my enthusiasm (CHECK OUT THE TRAILER! CAPS FAIL) regarding the upcoming fantasy flick “Where The Wild Things Are,” a film adaptation of Maurice Sandak’s popular children book. Today, we get out first taste of the furry, fantastic, mind blowing and, of course, wild adventures that lie ahead once with the release of the first song of the soundtrack – “All Is Love.” The song was written and played by…
[tag]Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/tag] first lady Karen O, by her full name Karen Orzolek, has been recently interviewed by the Daily Press. The interview makes a awesome read, with info on regarding YYYs latest EP “Is Is” and tours, in-band disputes and Karen O’s … Playboy posing invitation. Daily Press: Are you guys working on any new songs right now? Karen O: Working here and there, without much pressure on myself. I think Nick and Brian…
Aussie three piece [tag]Liars[/tag] have just released their new video for “Plaster Casts of Everything’,part of their self-titled upcoming album. The video itself is rather strange, directed by indie experinced video maker Patrick Daughters; it depicts frontman Angus Andrew apparently gone berserk, speeding on a dirty road, with his face looking very disturbing, overlappsed 2-3 times symmetrically with the body of a woman (I think it’s [tag]Karen O[/tag], please tell me if I’m wrong). Half…
NY rockers [tag]Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/tag] have recently released the music video for the leading track, from their latest EP “Is Is”, namely “Down Boy”. The video features the YYYs performing live on a stage Down Boy. Some cool upfront riffage by lead guitarist Nick Zinner and Karen O’s sudden shifts in notes makes a good track out of Down Boy, but also makes a great video. The video’s touch of blanc-noir is really cool, an…
