It could only be called alchemy, the transformative
magic that happens during the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ most
tuned-in moments in the studio, when their unique
chemistry sparks opens a portal, and out comes
a song like “Maps” or “Zero” or the latest addition
to their canon, “Spitting off the Edge of the World
featuring Perfume Genius” — an epic shot-to-the-heart
of pure YYYs beauty and power.
A thunderstorm of a return is what the legendary
trio has in store for us on Cool It Down, their fifth
studio album and their first since 2013’s Mosquito.
The eight-track collection, bound to be a landmark in
their catalog, is an expert distillation of their best gifts
that impels you to move, and cry, and listen closely
