Indie rock group Yeah Yeah Yeahs have released a video for “Mosquito”, the title track of their new album. The video is a one-take picture-in-picture with a closeup of a young boy’s hand as a mosquito is drinking a great amount of blood while the PIP is of the young boy’s face. Things turn quite psychedelic and, ultimately, pretty bloody. Check it out below! READ MORE
Indie rock group Yeah Yeah Yeahs have released a new song entitled “Sacrilege”, which comes from their upcoming album Mosquito. The album was produced by Nick Launary and David Andrew Sitek and will be released Apr. 16th (pre-order here).
Listening to the track, it’s a fantastic song. Every second that passes, the song moves forward and new layers are added, building and building, reaching almost cinematic heights. It’s unbelievably fun and I highly recommend giving it a listen below. READ MORE
Indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs have announced an April 16th release date for their fourth studio album Mosquito. On top of that, they’ve released two juicy bits for the fans, the first being a teaser trailer for the album and the second being an absolutely fantastic and twisted album cover that features a giant mosquito about to…well, I won’t ruin it for you.
The album will be produced by Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio) and Nick Launay. One track was produced by James Murphy and features Dr. Octagon (Kool Keith).
Our very own Evan Dickson got to see the band perform recently in Pomona, CA and states, “The warm-up show I saw in Pomona was every bit as energetic and fun as I’ve ever seen them. And some of the new songs are beautiful too. The title track sounds like the Fever To Tell stuff, but a few of the other songs are really spacey and rhythmic.”

Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie is fast approaching. A few weeks back we mentioned that Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs had written a song called “Strange Love” for the film – and now you can hear that track!
O told Rolling Stone, “Tim [Burton] wanted an unconventional unconditional love song. My music inspiration came out of the same era of B movie fright film references sprinkled throughout the film. I went in the direction of exotica and calypso stylistically because it’s quirky, good vibes music of that era and when you throw in a theramin solo it’s a marriage made in heaven. I remember Beetlejuice introducing me to the genius of Harry Belafonte’s calypso record so I wanted to give a nod to that too. We ended up with a love song for the end of the film to the film! Frankenweenie is so special, it’s an unbelievable honor to be involved with it.”
“Strange Love” (which plays over the end credits of the film) will be featured in the “Frankenweenie Unleashed” compilation, which also features Robert Smith and Passion Pit, hitting September 25th. Frankenweenie is released on October 5th.
I actually really like the song, but it may be too “tropical” for some of you guys! Head here to check it out.
The release of Tim Burton’s feature length version of Frankenweenie may be coming out October 5th but fans who are interested in the soundtrack will be getting it a week and a half earlier. Artists appearing on the soundtrack include Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s), Kerli, Robert Smith (The Cure), and more. Karen O talked about her song for the movie here. You can check out a full list below.
“A heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.
A stop-motion animated film, ‘Frankenweenie’ will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.” READ MORE
Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie will – at the very least – have an awesome song on its soundtrack. Karen O of The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s is contributing the tune “Strange Love” to the film and, while I haven’t heard it, I’ve never disliked anything she’s done so my hopes are high. It’s been three years since the double punch of the YYY’s “It’s Blitz” and O’s soundtrack to Where The Wild Things Are, so I’m hoping the experience of doing this song gets her jazzed for a new YYY’s record (word is that one is coming but I’m not sure if they’ve hit the studio yet). They’re one of my all time favorite bands and they always change so much with each record I can’t wait to see where they go next.
