YEAH YEAH YEAHS It's Blitz! (2009 US 10-track vinyl LP recorded with Nick Launay [producer of their 2007 released 'Is Is' EP] & longtime collaborator Dave Sitek, the album sessions took the city dwelling band from the snow-covered fields of rural Massachusetts & 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 & recording. The result signals both a glance backward & a step forward for the Band. 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' & the New Wave melodrama of 'Soft Shock'. The album also includes the single 'Zero' - a huge, electronic dance-floor anthem of a song. This LP remains factory sealed in the original custom stickered shrink & includes, inside the picture sleeve, a voucher to download the entire album in MP3 format!).
