Karen O and co. are back after a nine-year gap
After recent speculation that new music was on the way from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the New York trio have announced their new album.
'Cool It Down' is their first album release since 2013's 'Mosquito', although they have continued to tour in the intervening years - their last Irish gig being a co-headliner with Beck in Dublin in 2018.
The band recently signed a new record deal with Secretly Canadian and will release 'Cool It Down' - its title borrowed from a Velvet Underground song - on September 30th.
"To all who have waited, our dear fans, thank you, our fever to tell has returned, and writing these songs came with its fair share of chills, tears, and euphoria when the pain lifts and truth is revealed," said frontwoman Karen O. "Don’t have to tell you how much we’ve been going through in the last nine years since our last record, because you've been going through it too, and we love you and we see you, and we hope you feel the feels from the music we’ve made. No shying away from the feels, or backing down from what’s been gripping all of us these days. So yes we’ve taken our time, happy to report when it’s ready it really does just flow out."
They also revealed a new single, 'Spitting Off the Edge of the World', featuring Perfume Genius, which you can hear below.
