Yeah Yeah Yeahs to release ITS BLITZ

The photo above is the album artwork for Yeah Yeah Yeahs latest album ITS BLITZ!, slated to be released in mid April with different dates for each country:
Australia : 10 April
UK: 13 April
US: 12 April

MAD YYY COVERS AFTER THE JUMP.


The band worked with pretty much the same people for this album, David Sitek (TV on The Radio’s fame and did YYY’s last 2 albums), and Nick Launay (Lou Reed, upcoming Johnny Rottens new album and YYY’s 07′ Is Is EP).

This 10 track LP is said to be recorded over rural locations and extreme weather conditions all over America.

There would be guest appearances by members from TV On The Radio and The Bird And The Bee for this album.

So April it is once again.

2 covers to whet your appetite for YYY’s.
Arcade Fire did a cover version of “maps” a couple of years back and has become sort of a vintage treasure, but Rogue Wave comes along and does a cover as good as solid gold.

Baron Von Luxxury also injects electronica into YYY’s veins for a surprisingly awesome result.
