When you're a small mosquito pond in a large pond, sometime you find yourself writing the exact same story everybody else has. I got it off Gigwise though I noticed it on BV and PF and RS and lots of other smaller folks. And they all got it from YYYs PR folks no doubt and it really isn't much of a story any way. Take it Gigwise:
"The band have worked with Dave Sitek, Nick Launay and James Murphy on the new album, which front woman Karen O claims is packed with 'good vibes. "We would love for this music to make our fans feeeeel something, for it to stir some shit up inside of them, whatever that may be," says the band's iconic front woman. "SO much feeling went into this record, it was the rope ladder thrown down into the ditch for us to climb up and dust ourselves off. I hope others can climb up it too; we’re excited to share the good vibes."
"We took a more playful, LO-FI approach to songwriting," she adds. "“Much of the music was demoed in our little basement studio in Manhattan with drum machines
, a shitty sample keyboard and tons of delay – which we called the soup."
Hmm, OK, Karen O is cool enough and I wanna see em live which I never have because last time they played I had a tix to see Costello filming that talk show of his and blew off KO for EC. A mistake since the filming went on for bloody years and Costello was about as boring a bastard as you'd ever wish to listen to and nearly as lousy an interviewer as I was with poor ol' People Get Ready.
Which leads me offering out this information for a bored to madness rock music starved YYY fanbase.
