Cool It Down by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Cool It Down is an album by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released in 2022. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 34 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Burning”, on 18 lists and voted number one once.
Cool It Down, the fifth album from Yeah Yeah Yeahs and their first since Mosquito back in 2013, landed on Secretly Canadian on September 30, 2022, the band's first release for the label. Nearly a decade away had not dulled the New York trio of Karen O, guitarist and keyboardist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase; if anything it sharpened them into something slower, bigger and more ominous.
Lead single "Spitting Off the Edge of the World", with Perfume Genius, arrived in June 2022, a slow-motion storm of synths and dread, with Karen O at her most commanding. "Burning" swaps the dread for a strutting, dancefloor-ready rush, and "Wolf" prowls somewhere in between. Critics welcomed it as a comeback, and it earned a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.
