Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Down Boy (Dress Up/Fiction)
July 25, 2007
Easy tiger you’ll put someone’s eye out with that if you’re not careful! Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back (sort of) after what seems far too long an absence with ‘Down Boy’ taken from their new EP ‘Is Is’. Although this song (and the rest of the mini record) was originally written in the aftermath of debut album Fever to Tell some three years, it is quite possibly one of their best-ever tracks and begs the question as to why its taken so long to be released.
Down-right deliciously seductive, this cut sees the New York trio go from blissfully peaceful to ballsy full-on rock filled out with incredibly epic guitar and vocal effects. If their third album is anything like this we’ll be in for a treat.
