Yeah Yeah Yeahs return with another music video for “Skeletons” which is directed by the lovely Karen O‘s boyfriend, Barney Clay. The track is one of the down-tempo songs on their latest album,It’s Blitz!, and it’s fair to say it’s probably the dreamiest as well.
The video is a perfect match for the ethereal tone, although the term “ethereal” is a bit of an understatement. Angels, clouds, and the supernatural all come together for black and white visuals that intrigue with the uncertainty between safety and fear. Whatever it all is, it’s a gorgeous watch. We’ve got the video plus an the “making of” footage for you below!
There’s a lot of talk about Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ new album, It’s Blitz! Going for more of an electronic sound this time around, Karen O and her cronies have turned their post-punk skills toward dance music. So far, so good. However, this music video for “Zero” doesn’t seem to compare with “Y Control” off of their debut, Fever To Tell. Here, O comes off a little too Chrissie Hynde with her dance solo down the alley, but I do like the curtain at the beginning and the end which makes her rock star status come full circle. Watch it for yourself and let us know what you think!
It’s about damn time we started hearing some new music from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! I know it hasn’t been that long since their last album, hell Show Your Bones only came out in 2006. But due to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs appearance on RockBand I’ve heard “Maps” sung badly so many times that I’m ready to stab my eye out. I needed something new to wash away the old now stale taste. And this is just that. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ single “Zero,” off their upcoming album “It’s Blitz!” is really refreshing and really gets you going!
