About the Album: While the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s aren’t a group to shy away from visual and aural risks, the group couldn’t have anticipated the intensity of the response to their cover art for their forthcoming album, Mosquito. Websites declared it “Frontrunner for Worst Cover Art of 2013” and the artwork was revealed in January. Bold pronouncements. Regarding the actual sound of the work, frontwoman Karen O. Had this to say about their first album since 2009,  “[Mosquito] is a feel good, food for the soul, chicken soup for the ears Yeah Yeah Yeahs record – which doesn’t mean easy listening – it means kind of raw, kind of chaotic, kind of dreamy.” Fingers crossed.

Track Spotlight: New tracks have yet to be released as the group is waiting for South by Southwest but in the meantime their single “Hysteric” is as good as ever.
