(PR) New York City's favorite alt-rock power trio Yeah Yeah Yeahs sat down with iTunes recently to create an all-new program of music and interview commentary that reflects upon their illustrious nine-year career. The result is ITunes Originals – Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which is released this week.This very special iTunes exclusive digital album features the band performing acoustic reconstructions of YYY's fan favorites "Our Time" (from a self-titled 2002 EP), the breakthrough single "Maps" (from their 2003 debut Fever to Tell), and several songs from their most recent album It's Blitz: the showstopper "Hysteric," "Dull Life," and "Runaway." The album also includes studio versions of "Y Control," "Gold Lion," "Cheated Hearts," "Down Boy," and "Heads Will Roll."
In addition, fans are treated to interviews with singer Karen O., guitarist Nick Zinner, and drummer Brian Chase, as they reflect on and deconstruct the past nine years of their career, revealing the inspirations and fascinating stories behind their songs.
To celebrate the release of iTunes Originals – Yeah Yeah Yeahs, iTunes is offering It's Blitz! at the low price of $7.99 for one week only. Released in March 2009, It's Blitz! has earned four stars from Rolling Stone, five out of five from Britain's Q, and been called "the alternative pop album of the decade" by Spin.
