“Spitting Off The Edge Of The World” begins as a glossy track that surrounds listeners with a pillowy-soft echo before retreating into itself. As the reverb recedes, Karen O‘s vocals stand alone atop a wire-thin synth.
In the video, directed by Cody Critcheloe, Yeah Yeah Yeahs go on a surreal adventure. O and Genius’ night on the town quickly pivots from a normal ride in the back of a limo to driving down backroads in a tricked-out car a la Mad Max.
O shared her feelings about the band’s lengthy hiatus and their new album in a press release.
“To all who have waited, our dear fans, thank you. Our fever to tell has returned, and writing these songs came with its fair share of chills, tears and euphoria when the pain lifts and truth is revealed,” O says. “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, and we love you and we see you, and we hope you feel the feels from the music we’ve made.”
