Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 'Mosquito': Band Reveals New Album & Crazy Cover

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back! As Spinner previously reported, the New York trio hinted that new music would come in 2013. Thankfully, they held true on their promise and have announced Mosquito, the follow-up to their 2009 record It's Blitz.

The new tracks will hit stores April 16 via Interscope. TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek and Nick Launay separately helped to produce the seemingly diverse Mosquito, while James Murphy took the helm for one tune.

"We took a more playful, LO-FI approach to songwriting," singer Karen O said in a press release. "Much of the music was demoed in our little basement studio in Manhattan with drum machines, a shitty sample keyboard and tons of delay -- which we called the soup. I think this record has more moodier and tripped-out songs than you've ever heard from us."

The cover art above was designed by cartoonist and animator Beomsik Shimbe Shim and features a baby being dragged away by a big ass bug. So glad they're back! Check out the trailer for Mosquito below.
