Yeah Yeah Yeahs Announce New Album

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs released some details about their follow-up album to 2006’s Show Your Bones.

The group blogged about the record, saying this:

“NEW RECORD? NEW RECORD!! NEW RECORD IS GETTING CLOSER TO BEING DONE DONE DONE! You still won’t be hearing it until 2009 but damn are we close to finishing it and only after a year of writing and recording!

Will it sound kind of like Show Your Bones? No, been there done that. What about IS IS?… Absolutely not, it sounds VERY different from last year’s EP. Did we go back to our roots and write something closer to Fever to Tell? No looking back now silly, just full speed ahead.

We can hardly wait ourselves, we miss all of you and we’ve been working extra hard on this one with the intention to make you as happy as possible. Just wanted to drop a line to let you in on how quickly we’re approaching the finishing line and to GET PSYYYYYYYYYYYYCHED.”

We expect the new, (as-of-yet) untitled album to drop in January. Fresh sounding? That’s just what we needed to hear.
