Yeah Yeah Yeahs: It's Blitz!
AFTER 2006’s introspective Show Your Bones, New York’s Yeah Yeah Yeahs shift gears, beefing up their trademark lo-fi guitars with galloping synths that recall Swiss duo Yello, or Talking Heads when the beat turns staccato.
Eighties’ atmospherics haunt this album with its walls of electronic sound and lead singer Karen O seems just as happy to emulate them as sing over the top.
VERDICT 3/5
