Rave’s Fave: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Mosquito

Yeah-Yeah-Yeahs-Mosquito-608x607

Here’s the title track from what just might turn out to be one of 2013’s landmark albums, which Karen O. calls YYYs most lighthearted yet. “Mosquito” is an intense, straight ahead rock song with a huge sound; a hooky, driving rhythm section that showcases guitarist Nick Zinner in fine form. The dark and dirty bassline of this track will get under your skin and who better to sing the line “He’ll suck your blood” than Karen O? The album drops April 16 and you can peep the band’s recent performance of “Sacrilege” on Letterman below. By Bruce Rave
