The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have shared the video for ‘Blacktop’ and introduced US and European tour dates.
“’Blacktop’ caught out to me early on, the demo was very stripped down instrumentally and emotionally,” stated frontwoman Karen O in an announcement [via Stereogum]. It was a step in the direction of what radical closeness seems like after an extended separation. Every report has one in every of these diamonds within the tough that simply seems like flying to me.
“It felt proper to maintain the video as stripped down and dare I say stunning in its naïveté. David Black put us in entrance of his 70s analogue video digital camera with the intention to tug stills for band photographs. He had me sing to ‘Blacktop’ earlier than I had even memorized the lyrics, I believed I knew the tune by coronary heart however it felt like an introduction, like assembly it for the primary time.”
She continued: “It wasn’t meant to finish up as a video and as a return to the earliest visuals from the report it completes a circle, we’re so comfortable we’ve it, a easy layered efficiency for a deceptively easy tune. We hope you take pleasure in.”
