21ST DECEMBER
I really like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and even though they’ve never been able to top the sheer raw power of Fever To Tell they still know how to write a tune. “All I Want For Christmas” is evidence of this, a charming number which the band released this time last year and which is markedly different from the synthy pop of It’s Blitz. Not only is it better than half the stuff on that record but to my knowledge it’s the only Yeah Yeah Yeahs song to feature a key change. It’s lovely.
