Background[edit]
In a press release, Karen O stated: "Don't have to tell you how much we've been going through in the last nine years since our last record, because you've been going through it too [...] So yes we've taken our time, happy to report when it's ready it really does just flow out."[4] The title of the album was taken from the Velvet Underground song of the same name from their 1970 album Loaded,[5] while lead single "Spitting Off the Edge of the World" was inspired by the climate crisis.[6] "Fleez," the album's fourth track, incorporates elements from fellow New York City band ESG's 1981 song "Moody".[7]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs first teased new music in early May 2022 after announcing shows in New York City and Los Angeles in October.[6]
