Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Cool It Down

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 open 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 (feat. Perfume Genius)’, an epic shot to the heart of pure Yeah Yeah Yeahs beauty and power. A thunderstorm of a return is what the legendary trio has in store 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 catalogue, is an expert distillation of their best gifts that impels you to move and cry and listen closely.
