Product description
The highly anticipated follow-up album to 2006’s Show Your Bones, recorded with Nick Launay (producer of Yeah Yeah Yeah’s 2007 “Is Is” EP) and longtime collaborator, TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek. The album sessions took the city-dwelling band from the snow-covered fields of rural Massachusetts and Long View Studios to Sitek’s Staygold complex in Brooklyn before heading south to a studio in Tornillo in the Texan desert for further confinement and recording. It’s Blitz signals both a glance backwards and a step forward for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with the appearance of synths for the first time.
Guitarist Nick Zinner had brought along an old keyboard he bought on ebay to work with during the writing session not expecting it to end up on the album. However, the sounds of the vintage arp were so right for the new songs that they found their way into the atmospheric washes of 'Skeletons', the disco wiggles of 'Heads Will Roll', and new wave melodrama of 'Soft Shock'. the whole record has a new feeling of space and atmosphere, a new sonic dimension, if you will.
