Yeah Yeah Yeahs

US 2023 press.
A debut that still feels feral. Scrappy guitars, nervy grooves and Karen O sounding like she might either steal your pint or fall through the floor mid song. It’s raw, messy, sexy and completely locked in on its own energy. Every track feels urgent, like it had to be recorded right then or not at all. Lightning in a bottle stuff and it still crackles when you drop the needle. Proper class. FFO The Strokes early era, Liars first record, LCD Soundsystem punkier moments, Le Tigre, early 00s New York chaos
