Yeah Yeah Yeahs Is Is

PR reports: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Release The "Is Is" Ep With Accompanying Live Film July 24th On Dress Up/Fiction. YYYs = SLUTTY: The drunk, the nerd and the goth strike back with their new EP of unbridled older material. It all began with an EP back in 2001, and now YYYs revisit and revel in the five song format a second time round with Is Is. "I f*cking love EPs!" says Brian Chase. Songs for the EP were written in 2004 in between touring behind their first record Fever to Tell. Written amidst one of the most turbulent and emotionally unstable periods in YYYs history, for whatever reason the angst that colored that point in time translates erotically into a sexually charged body of songs. On their choice of producer, Karen O intones; "Nick Launay was the natural choice having produced PIL Flowers of Romance, collectively a favorite between us. I put that record on and want to stuff my mouth with raw hamburger meat.". Is Is is an expression of similar sordid energy, the rawness is unavoidable and good for you too![see full story for info on the film]- Click Here for the Full Story
