Listen: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Sacrilege”

Yeah-Yeah-Yeahs-Sacrilege-e1361391840564

It’s been a number of weeks since Yeah Yeah Yeahs announced their return with their fourth album Mosquito and we had yet to hear a song from it, perhaps because they were giving us time to recover from that cover art. The first track to air from Mosquito is “Sacrilege” and I doubt anyone would have expected this sound from YYYs. “Sacrilege” is neither the noisy punk of their early albums nor the slicker dancey style of It’s Blitz!; it’s more of a straightforward rock song that builds to a grand conclusion that features a 20-person strong gospel choir. Check out “Sacrilege” below and look out for Mosquito on April 16th.
