Inside Nokia Music

The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s are back today with Skeletons, the third single from one of 2009’s most blogged about albums, It’s Blitz!

Taking a different direction from the dance heavy feel of the first 2 singles, Skeletons is a return to their sweeter, softer sound. The singles b-side is the acoustic version of the song that featured on the Deluxe Edition of It’s Blitz!

Here’s the official music video, and if you haven’t seen the promotional shorts for the release of It’s Blitz!, they’re linked at the end as related videos and are worth a watch.

Skeletons as well as It’s Blitz! Deluxe Edition which features both tracks is available to download from the Nokia Music Store and is completely free to ‘Comes With Music’ subscribers.

Part 2

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz!

With claims of a Donna Summer – I Feel Love era influence it was pretty difficult not to be intrigued by how It’s Blitz! might turn out, with is polished production I feel it still delivers without losing sight of the band’s raw garage rock roots.

Zero and Head’s Will Roll led the proclaimed Disco Garage Rock element of the album (the former of which my other half damn near murdered by excessive play-count) but for the most part It’s Blitz! had significantly more sentimental tracks than previous albums.

Adopting the 10 track album revival that’s been quite popular this year, it’s still a collection essential, particularly the Deluxe Download Edition featuring studio recorded acoustic renditions of Soft Shock, Skeletons, Hysteric and Little Shadow as well as bonus track Faces.

Though the intro briefly resembles MGMT’s Time To Pretend… Stand out track on the album for me is Dull Life.

The cover art is arguably this years best too!

Seen them live this year:

Hell yeah… yeah yeah! 26th April @ Shepherds Bush Empire.

It’s Blitz! As well as a comprehensive Yeah Yeah Yeahs back-catalogue is available to download from The Nokia Music Store and is completely free to ‘Comes With Music’ subscribers.
