Yeah Yeah Yeahs : Skeletons
Over the past few days I’ve been acquainting myself with the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs record, and while I haven’t fully wrapped my head around it yet, it only took one listen to fall in love with this smoldering gem of a fourth track. I love songs like this that manage to balance a slow burn with just enough tension to keep the energy up. Combined a clattering tribal rhythm, the synth motif conjures up some kind of space-aged Celtic dreamscape, and the atmosphere remains just chilly enough to keep its edge in spite of a warm melody…. and stuff.
Enjoy!
