YEAH YEAH YEAHS – ZERO
2009-03-23This new single, “Zero,” puts Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ old stuff to shame with its effortless confidence and deadly melody. I can throw every adjective I know at you, but I’d just be complicating the simple fact that this song is really, really good. Crazy catchy. You’re gonna listen to it 100 times before you realize you’re not breathing. The video is just as gripping. A surreal nighttime Tokyo — or is it NYC? Hong Kong? Any city… The world is your stage! — adventure, it starts with kung-fu movie overdubs and escalates through grocery cart races, street dancing and car stomping to its explosive ticker tape finish. Step past the red curtain and know that you’re never coming back.
