Yeah Yeah Sorta!

Great song and video. art school kids type of band. Unfortunately the new album "It's blitz" is not as super all the way through. I have heard their older material, which has been interesting, but a bit too artsy, now they have a more groovy/dance-y sound, but still have a hard time delivering the melodies needed for producing good music. Text from press release: The trio recorded It's Blitz! with two producers: TV on the Radio's David Sitek, who did production work on the last two albums, and Nick Launay, who co-produced the 2007 Is Is EP along with the band. But the band didn't do everything the same. For one thing, guitarist Nick Zinner plays a whole lot of vintage synths on this thing. For another, according to a press release, the band began the writing process "in the middle of a snowstorm, in a hundred-year-old barn in rural Massachusetts." So that probably messed with their formula a bit.
Great video from NYC here.
