Yeah Yeah Yeahs Side Project Up For A Listen
By Peter Kimmich: 2008-07-21 23:13:48
It can be said that behind every crazy, screamy, nuclear-meltdown-style lead singer is a mellow, subdued campfire-style lead singer trying hard to get out. It’s been proven since the dawn of the “acoustic version,” and demonstrated by everyone from Kurt Cobain to Pete Doherty.
Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is no exception: her latest undertaking, a bedroom-recorded acoustic project called Native Korean Rock, is her contribution to the pot, NME reported Monday. Featuring little more than an acoustic guitar, small-time drum machine, background tape hiss and Karen’s voice, NKR seems more reminiscent of O overhauling her environment than changing her style. Add loud guitar and drums, and turn her up a few notches, and you have the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, albeit a little less reckless. On second thought, as far as acoustic material goes, it’s still reckless. I guess even Karen’s campfire-style doppelganger is still one to challenge the status quo. Go to the band’s Myspace page for a listen. The catalogue, according to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs blog, consists of a collection of Karen’s love songs, written over the last two years. They will reportedly be performed by a “motley crew of NYC natives,” most notably tonight (July 21) at New York’s Union Pool venue, for anyone who reads this in time … which, if you are reading this, you are now undoubtedly late.
