Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Is Is: A noticeable pattern in their titles, but not in their music...
The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP 'Is Is' dropped a couple of days ago, and whilst not being particularly interesting to talk about I think the band deserve some recognition for their consistent efforts. A brief intro (one shouldn't be required, but unfortunately, it is). Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a three piece indie band from New York, and have recorded 2 feature length albums and 3 EP's since then as well as being Grammy nominated. The Is Is, released on the 24th July, is quite an interesting release as the style is very different to their latest album Show Your Bones. Despite being a three piece they make a hell of a lot of noise; whilst there is no bassist, guitarist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase compensate for this by turning up the distortion a bit, and for Zinner at least, by lacing different styles into his playing (try playing lead and rhythm guitar at the same time!). And I needn't explain Karen O, the frontwoman, who is probably the coolest woman in music at the moment, donning a bowl haircut and some eccentric clothing (see her dragon outfit at Reading last year) and still remaining stylish.From what I've heard, 'Is Is' is (sorry!) the sound of a band who are nearing the peak of their musicial career: if the band can afford to use songs as good as these five on EP's then we can be confident in their songwriting skills and that album #3 will be brilliant. The thing which is most noteworthy about this EP is the grungy/angsty style which has been missing on their albums; I'm not saying its better than their normal sound but they definitely pull it off. For this, kudos to the band, and I hope you all enjoy their music... The following tracks can be downloaded from this project

Can I just say what a comfort to find someone that really
understands what they're talking about on the web. You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people should look at this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you're not more popular since you
surely have the gift.
