It could only be called alchemy, the transformative magic that happens during the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ most tuned-in moments in the studio, when their unique chemistry sparks opens a portal, and out comes a song like ‘Maps’ or ‘Zero’ or the latest addition to their canon, ‘Spitting off the Edge of the World featuring Perfume Genius’ — an epic shot-to-the- heart of pure YYYs beauty and power.
A thunderstorm of a return is what the legendary trio has in store for us on “Cool It Down”, their fifth studio album and their first since 2013’s “Mosquito”. The eight-track collection, bound to be a landmark in their catalog, is an expert distillation of their best gifts that impels you to move, and cry, and listen closely.
