Is Is (CDep)
An EP of brand-new Yeah Yeah Yeahs studio recordings, Is Is represents the heart of this riveting band - the interplay between Karen, Nick, and Brian - on five lean and urgent tracks that best capture the excitement of the band's live shows. Intending to capture that energy, the
band made a live video, filmed at an exclusive performance at Glasslands Gallery in Williamsburg Brooklyn, for each of the tracks on this EP, with co-directors KK Barrett (Sofia Coppola films) and Lance Bangs (Nirvana, Sonic Youth videos). Fans may recognize some of these fantastic tracks from the band's live sets, but they have remained live faves only as they never thematically fit the band's full length albums - until now.

| Finally the YYY's are rocking again. The album Show Your Bones was much more produced than any of there other outing, and it just didn't feel like the YYY's. We wanted Is Is all along. A shorter piece of work that doesn't make us feel tired in the aftermath but is strong enough to fire us up. Fiery and fun is what Is Is is. | |
