Show Your Bones

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

A pivot from jagged punk to textured, acoustic-driven art rock. Introspective and melodic, it trades raw noise for shimmering urban melancholy.

It's the sound of the coolest girl in New York finally letting her guard down over an acoustic guitar.

A sophisticated, urban melancholy that balances art-school detachment with raw, acoustic-driven intimacy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, anthemic release of the chorus in Cheated Hearts where the guitars finally bloom.

The haunting, skeletal acoustic opening of Gold Lion that sets a surprisingly earthy tone for the record.

The way the percussion and sirens build a tense, urban claustrophobia in the bridge of Phenomena.
