Show Your Bones
Inevitably, with a band such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, sound and style are intricately linked. Each listen is imbedded with images of Karen O in all her glory, of places where all the kids are cool, and where the sun rises only so it can set again. However, having risen to semi-stardom in 2003 with their debut Fever To Tell, and now having backed it up with Show Your Bones the YYYs are without a doubt one of the best examples of how to remain hip while avoiding clichés.
With Show Your Bones (and second albums in general) it’s tempting to over-intellectualise things, and way too easy to forget how an album makes you feel while chained to a computer.
So without trying to piss off the purists, ThreeThousand does not intend to judge this album until we have listened to it at a party, hungover sitting at breakfast, or while making out with a random on a couch. Only then will you be able to tell you exactly how good Show Your Bones is, and list all the reasons that we love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
