Notes
Recorded @ Funhouse, NYC. Mastered @ Soundoptik, NYC.
The YYYs absolutely blew me away with their late 70s/ early 80s grungy fem-punk indie rock sound, incredibly catchy riffs, and a singer who's snotty, charismatic voice screamed of perfection.
To start, the produciton quality is perfectly gritty, leaving me to believe the band achieved the exact sound they were looking for. "Bang" begins the album with a riff that would stick in your head for years (if it wasn't for "Art Star"), followed by "Mystery Girl" which features Karen O's most enjoyable and playful singing. "Art Star" is the highlight of the EP with a great beat, incredible screaming, and an absolutely irresistable series of "do-do-dos". Karen O. begins "Miles Away" with an eery quiet that you know will build up and explode, which it does. Lastly, there's the anthem "Our Time" which does indeed blatently borrow the chords of "Crimson and Clover", but it still delivers. At its slower pace, it is the perfect track to end the record with.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Bang!
a song that will make you fall in love with karen o's voice instantly & you'll defiantly feel an urge to sing & dance too, its a great way to start off the ep.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Art Star Live
contains all the elements which make the Yeah Yeah Yeahs such a great band; the inspired guitar riffs, versatile vocals, and punk sensibility.
Not to mention the pop catchiness in all those "doos".
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mystery Girl
now this song will not only inspire you to sing along & dance too but also will make you feel as is if you must keep listening & find out more about this wonderous band.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Our Time
is the closest thing to a slow song on the EP,and showcases the Yeah Yeah Yeahs potential for writing emotive and sincere songs
