Yeah Yeah Yeahs to release new EP
July sees release of five new songs and short film
13.Jun.07 3:19pm

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are set to release a new EP 'Is Is' on July 23.

All the songs on the five-track collection were written in 2004 while touring their debut LP 'Fever To Tell', with four of the five tracks appearing on the DVD 'Tell Me What Rockers To Swallow'.

The EP was produced by Nick Launay. Speaking about their choice of collaborator, frontwoman Karen O told NME: "(He) was the natural choice having produced PIL's 'Flowers Of Romance', collectively a favourite between us."

Accompanying the EP will be a special live film, which was recorded on at their two-night stand at Grasslands Gallery in Brooklyn on May 7.

The artwork was done by Julian Gross from Liars.

The tracklisting is:

'Rockers To Swallow'
'Down Boy'
'Kiss Kiss'
'Isis'
'10 X 10'

The EP will be available on CD, double gatefold vinyl, single track download and digital bundle.

To read an exclusive interview with the band about the new release get this week's issue of NME, on UK newsstands now.

I've got it already (MP3s); it's decent but not up to par with most of the material on their albums (or previous EPs for that matter).

IS IS isn't your mommy or daddy's EP

Bad. Suggestive. Wrong. Yes. Yes. YEAH! What's a summer without a little stinking trash to roll around in? We've got the garbage oh yeah we do, dumped into five songs to encourage bad listening habits. YYYs would love to heat up and bother you at a loud volume, so please help us help you and seek out our new tunes? Some of you may know a few of these songs, we've been terrorizing with them at our shows for years, Rockers to Swallow, Down Boy, 10X10, WE GUARANTEE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD THEM LIKE THIS BEFORE, nor have you heard them ALL. We deliver them to you with a snarl this July accompanied with new videos all shot in the dark at a very intimate show we threw last month. We cannot tell you how EXCITED the three of us are to drop this music in your laps, our mouths water at thought of you listening to RTS (ep's first track) in your car stereos. Summer nights are made for this shit. This shit IS IS made for summer nights.


xx,
YYY
