Yeah Yeah Yeahs Go on Hiatus
In a new interview with NME, Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O confirmed that the band hasn’t begun work on the follow-
up to 2013’s Mosquito and that plans to reconvene the trio isn’t in place.
“We’re on a bit of hiatus at the moment,” explained O. “We have to wait to get the urge, get that itch. The time needs to be right and we’re okay waiting for that, I think.”
However, O didn’t convey that the end of Yeah Yeah Yeahs is in sight, adding that when she and bandmates Nick Zinner and Brian Chase choose get back together, “it’ll be like muscle memory, this unspoken thing between the three of us where it all just… locks in.”
During her conversation with NME, she also discussed that the less than stellar reviews of Mosquito hasn’t scared off the band: “It’s a pretty dangerous hole to fall down, reading your own reviews, so it’s not something I personally do,” offered O. “All you can do is try to make albums you can stand by and be proud of…that are a snapshot of where you were at the time. It won’t stop us, nothing like that.”
