Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool It Down

It turns out Yeah Yeah Yeahs 2.0 is exactly what 2022 needs.

Noughties alternative is back in vogue. Dubbed ‘Indie sleaze’, faithful followers too young to remember the era pore over Topshop chic, sweaty club gigs and guitar bands of the age; relics often immortalised through the pixelated haze of Sony Ericssons and nascent digital cameras. Yeah Yeah Yeahs are one of the movement’s leading troubadours, their sound and look synthesising the tenor of the times. And after almost a decade away, ‘Cool It Down’ brings their sound kicking and screaming into 2022 where, if anything, it sounds more relevant than ever.
