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….
Source Just Karen O Yeah Yeah Yeahs just released their newest video for the song Despair, which is one of the tracks from their latest album Mosquito. The album was released in April this year, and it was also available for streaming. This way the band just became the first band ever to film a video on the Empire State Building (How cool is that?), I really can’t believe how come never…
Maybe this sounds crazy, I mean can you imagine Karen O singing with a gospel choir live? Well, me neither, but it seems that this is possible, and actually it doesn’t even sound as bad as I expected to. OK, I have to admit, this song is really awesome.

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…
Source Great news everyone, first The Knife announces that are going to release new material in Spring 2013, now the Yeah Yeah Yeahs; I’m telling you, 2013 is going to be a better year for the music industry. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs just posted on their twitter page this ambiguous message: DNA upgrades, spontaneous evolution and NEW YEAH YEAH YEAHS RECORD ARRIVING SPRING 2013! finally. This new album will be a…
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…
Just one week after we posted the latest Yeah Yeah Yeahs single, titled “Zero,” in MP3 format, it now seems we’re yet again treated with another MP3, this time for the ecstatic “Heads Will Roll.” Sound-wise, nothing much to difference it from Zero. Same double layered synths, Karen O highly commanding vocals and vintage garage vibe. Off the, upcoming new YYYs LP, “It’s Blitz!” out April 14th. P.S. Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention that “Heads…
Garage rock saviours Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back in full swing, everybody! Yesterday the band gave a first tase of the new material they’ve been prepping as the YYYs third full length studio release, “It’s Blitz!,” when they put out the first single “Zero” as a live stream on myspace. The single got, evidently, immediately ripped and all over the interwebs, but what’s trully worth noting is the band still rocks like never before! When…
