YEAH YEAH YEAHS It's Blitz (2009 US 14-track PICTURE CD album - Recorded with Nick Launay [producer of YYY's 2007 released 'Is Is' EP] and longtime collaborator TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, The album sessions took the city dwelling band from the snow-covered fields of rural Massachusetts and Long View Studios, to Sitek's Staygold complex in Brooklyn before heading south to a studio in Tornillo in the Texan desert for further confinement and recording. The result, 'It's Blitz',signals both a glance backward and a step forward for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Guitarist Nick Zinner had brought along an old keyboard he bought on eBay to work with during the writing session not expecting it to end up on the album. However, the sounds of the vintage Arp were so right for the new songs that they found their way into the atmospheric washes of 'Skeletons', the disco wiggles of 'Heads Will Roll', and New Wave melodrama of 'Soft Shock'. Includes the single 'Zero' - a huge, electronic dance-floor anthem of a song; plus Bonus Acoustic Versions of 'Soft Shock', 'Skeletons', 'Hysteric' & 'Little Shadow'.
