NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Interscope Records) - New York... Get Get Get your dance on - the
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back back back with It's Blitz! The band's third album proper is out tomorrow, March 31, and heads are rolling.
Rolling Stone gives It's Blitz! 4 stars! Q magazine one-ups them and goes for an all-out 5 outta 5! Spin magazine suffices to say It's Blitz! is simply "the alternative pop album of the decade."
NME concurs: "It's Blitz! is a heartfelt love letter to the transcendent possibilities of the dance floor, an unexpectedly emphatic reassertion of why Yeah Yeah Yeahs are one of the most exciting bands of this decade," they re-affirm. "Better than that, they know how to 'shake it like a ladder to the sun'."
It's true! Yeah Yeah Yeahs don't want to drown you in the stars and the praise, - they want to drown you in dance! And shake it to the mountains dancing dollface, because Yeah Yeah Yeahs announce their first 2009 US date Sunday, April 19th, at Coachella!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs' incendiary live shows are the stuff of legend. Karen O, Nick Zinner and Brian Chase mean it bad as they strut both rock disco explosions and ballsy ballads that cut both sides of your emotional heart.
If you can't wait - and you would be a fool to wait - catch their sexy tease performing the hit single "Zero" April 14 on Late Show with David Letterman. When that leaves you breathless tune in the next eve April 15 to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
And Yeah Yeah Yeahs give and give and give yes they do yes they love you. See simultaneous with Tuesday's release the band also serves up the third in the installment of their Snakesweat Trilogy Videos: This time it's Karen O's joint entitled "The Black Widow." Don't be in the dark catch it on the band's website (www.yeahyeahyeahs.com) and watch all three SNAKESWEAT videos on their YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/yeahyeahyeahs) including Zinner and Chase's teasers "The Scientist" and "The Philosopher."
"The return of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, perhaps the only noughties New York band who've not only managed to keep their credibility and cool but have also managed to keep on developing into the-band-of-a-generation," muses Drowned in Sound.
