Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz! [Interscope: 2009]
Brooklyn band Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been one of the best-dressed and coolest three-piece bands around in the last decade, and leading lady Karen O is one of the sexiest, most empowered female rock n roll personalities since Chrissie Hynde. Needless to say, the expectations were high for It’s Blitz! their latest release. Compared to their first two albums they have noticeably pulled back from the confronting dirty garage-punk sound and have introduced a heavier use of synthesizers and a more ambient brand of Brooklyn rock. Karen’s voice is put on display as an instrument rather than a howling force of nature – creating a much less hard-hitting sound than what we have become accustomed to. With this new record the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are getting out of your face and into your head. This album washes over you, so save water and soak it up.
