So, the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album Show Your Bones seems to be a straight-up rock album. The first single, Gold Lion, first appeared as Diplo remix, where the guitar strums were chopped up, along with the chorus, to rock well with some blippy Diplo drums and an ill synth bass line.

Another stand out track on the album, Phenomena, which is roughly the same tempo, presents the same opportunity. Again we have a killer chorus, which was lifted from Grand Master Flash's White Lines. “Something like a phenomena baby" rides the chops of Nick's guitar. This song is just waiting for the drums to double-up and the bass to come in.

Now the entire album is not like this but it is pretty cool there are two half-speed dance tracks to say, "This wasn't an accident." We all know Karen O loves to dance.

Check 'em out for yourself and get the rest of the album when it drops in March.
