New striking strokes

16 June 2023

Last year, YEAH YEAH YEAHS returned, after 13 years,
with their exquisite 5th LP, titled COOL IT DOWN.

To remind us of that album, the band released a lush version of
the lead single SPITTING OF THE EDGE OF THE WORLD featuring
the vulnerable voice of Perfume Genius. Beautiful, just beautiful.

YYY: “There haven’t been many duets in the history of Yeah Yeah Yeahs,
maybe we were waiting for a unicorn like Mike to come around. Having a
chance to try a different rendition of ‘Spitting Off the Edge of the World’ with
Mike (aka Perfume Genius) was always on the wishlist. Our producer wanted
to bring the track into Lee Hazlewood territory as far as lush arrangements
were concerned, there is some influence but in the end it’s very much a
stand alone sum of its parts. Enjoy!”
