The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have always dabbled in experimentation. Their latest effort, “Mosquito,” is conceptual, fun and a little trippy. The album revels in its range with unique percussion and an extremely lo–fi sound. The first single, “Sacrilege,” is a hit that doesn’t try to be. Featuring a powerful gospel choir, the track employs both memorable vocals and high riffs. The next song, "Subway," sets the tone and character for the record: weird and unpredictable. With garage rock songs like "Mosquito" and "Area 52" and sensual tracks like "Slave," the Yeah Yeah Yeahs once again demonstrate their ability to come up with a fresh sound with each album.
