YYY's-"Zero"

Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

First single ZERO from their upcoming album,my first impression:Very Siouxsie x New Order.Its no 'Maps' or 'Gold Lion',but the 80s feel and Karen O's letting loose really makes it worthwhile,I like it but I have much higher expectations for the new album.They really need to inject more of that animalistic energy (ie Rockers to Swallow,Y Control),a couple semi-ballads won't do any harm but I miss seeing them go wild.

For this song,guitarist Nick Zinner wasn't allowed a guitar and had to manage synths instead.

"When Karen orders, 'No guitars for Nick!' it makes you approach things in a different way," Zinner says in the cover story of SPIN's March issue (on newsstands next week). "Our producer was flabbergasted," drummer Brian Chase adds. "He was pleading, 'Nick, you're the best guitarist we have in rock'n'roll right now and here you are, playing all these synths.'"

It's Blitz! arrives April 14.
