Hysteric (acoustic) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Posted 9 months ago


So you probably know that tracks from the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album It's Bliz have leaked online. I may be in the minority but I am not liking the electronic direction, soundwise, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are experimenting with. Songs like Zero aren't doing it for me. I long for the days of "Maps" and even "Down Boy."

I would love for Karen O to make a stripped down acoustic record. On the delxue edition of It's Blitz there's a bonus track, this acoustic version of Hysteric that is so divine. I so love Karen's voice. I feel like the band is doing her no favors by surrounding her vocals with these played out electro rhythms.

So turn down the keyboards and bring in some more acoustics!

    Wow. Great track -- she's going alt-country with the next record.

    well too bad, coz i LOVE IT!!  i think every song sounds amazing and i love the electro sound throughout.  "Hysteric" is sweet, glad they took the time to record it. (the recording quality on this album is super hi-fidelity and K.O's voice sounds better than ever because of it!)

    i bet the next thing we hear from these 3 is completely different than It's Blitz, so don't fret!  they're probably just experimenting with various things that make them happy.
