Yeah Yeah Yeahs new record: news, sorta

The third Yeah Yeah Yeahs record is due out early 2009, according to a post on the band’s MySpace late last night. Actual details remain sketchy, but an attached in-studio pic shows Karen O in Mickey Mouse ears and skeleton suit, with Nick Zinner in some kind of Nicky Wire/Richard O’Brien from The Crystal Maze animal print top, so fun is evidently being had.

The full statement reads as follows:

“There is no beating the bit of news sweeping the nation at the moment but YYYs have a bit of news of our own to share.  NEW RECORD? NEW RECORD!! NEW RECORD IS GETTING CLOSER TO BEING DONE DONE DONE! You still won’t be hearing it until 2009 but damn are we close to finishing it and only after a year of writing and recording!  Will it sound kind of like Show Your Bones? No, been there done that. What about IS IS? Is that more of the direction it’s going in?  Absolutely not, it sounds VERY different from last year’s EP.  Did we go back to our roots and write something closer to Fever to Tell? No looking back now silly, just full speed ahead. WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?? Not much like anything you’ve heard from us before- DOES IT SOUND LIKE THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS??? YOU BET YOU’RE SWEET ASS IT DOES. Phew, can’t wait. We can hardly wait ourselves, we miss all of you and we’ve been working extra hard on this one with the intention to make you as happy as possible.  Just wanted to drop a line to let you in on how quickly we’re approaching the finishing line and to GET PSYYYYYYYYYYYYCHED.

Love,

The YYYs”
