More about Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Just Like Heaven festival features Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who recently released their new album Cool It Down last September. The album was the band’s first release in nine years, as a follow-up to their 2013 album Mosquito.
During the release of the album, vocalist Karen O in a statement said:
"Don't have to tell you how much we've been going through in the last nine years since our last record, because you've been going through it too. So yes we've taken our time, happy to report when it's ready it really does just flow out."
The album features eight tracks, with the lead single, Spitting Off the Edge of the World, focusing on the climate crisis. Speaking to the Guardian about the record, Karen-O noted:
“The gift of being able to write music is that you’re operating from a higher self that leads past all the noise and the despair. Making music, it’s such a euphoric process: it feels not too unlike what I imagine a near-death experience would be, where you tap into deeper truths.”
She further added, saying:
“There’s a lot of fear and disconnection and loneliness and despair, but what music helps me to do is tune into this deeper understanding of how interconnected everything is. That buoys me and I hope you can feel that in the music.”
The album has been nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
