Yeah Yeah Yeahs

They slowed it down this time around and released Skeleton, one of my favorite songs from Its Blitz, as their latest single...If you were looking for a slow, synth infused jam to warm you on cold nights well, I can't say this is the video because its equally eerie as it is beautiful - shiver me timbers. Its directed by Karen O's boyfriend, Barnley Clay, who, I feel, captured the essence of the song which was written in the middle of a snow storm, by making the video feel, as Karen put it "very wintery"



Making of the video:

Karen O is Where the Wild Things Are

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow you're only a day away...did I mention how cool Karen O is??

For now, here's a preview of the Yeah Yeah Yeah Queen's soundtrack for the highly anticipated Where the Wild Things Are, with the first single 'All is Love' by Karen O and the Kids (literally its Karen and a bunch of kids) Accompanying her on the album is Bradford Cox (Deerhunter) Nick Zinner and Brian Chase (YYYs) Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence (Dead Weather/Raconteurs), to name a few...but we'll have to wait until tomorrow for the full deal.

The YYYs just dropped the video for their second single, Heads Will Roll, from their latest LP Its Blitz and its sure to get you up on the d-floor shaking it like you have so many times for their first single, Zero… Seriously though, Karen O is possibly the coolest as they come and if she can’t get you up dancing when she tells you to “dance till your dead” then you are boring. I know they’ve been getting a lot of criticism for their layering of synthesizer on this album, but to me this is synthesizer done right.


I’m loving the video, everything from the Queen of Hearts-esque costume that Karen O is sporting, which I believe is in reference to the lyrics “Off with their heads”, the light up keyboard right off the top, to the cut open bodies with the glitter insides (seriously, I wish I was made of glitter) but for me it was the Michael Jackson-esque werewolf that really put the cherry on the cake.
