The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back: The indie rock band from New York City, which was very popular in the noughties, released “Spitting Of The Edge Of The World” feat. Perfume Genius released a new song – and in the process announced a new album. COOL IT DOWN, as it is titled, is scheduled for release on September 30, 2022.
Singer Karen O explains the title of her first new band album in almost ten years like this: “The record is called ‘Cool It Down’ which is snagged from a lesser known Velvet Underground song. I told Alex Prager whose photo graces our record cover that her image speaks to sweeping themes in the music and sums up how I, Karen, feel existentially in these times! But there’s always more to the story. This is how our new story begins, we present to you with heads bowed and fists in the air ‘Spitting Off the Edge of the World’ featuring Perfume Genius.”
