Yeah Yeah Yeahs album almost ready

The band have announced that the follow up to 'Show Your Bones' will arrive in early 2009 reports XM.co.uk.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs have revealed that their new album is "GETTING CLOSER TO BEING DONE DONE DONE!" In a post on their MySpace page, the band announced that, "You still won't be hearing it until 2009 but damn are we close to finishing it and only after a year of writing and recording!"

In answer to queries as to whether the new material will sound like 2006's 'Show Your Bones', the post continued "No, been there done that. What about IS IS? Is that more of the direction it's going in? Absolutely not, it sounds VERY different from last year's EP. Did we go back to our roots and write something closer to Fever to Tell? No looking back now silly, just full speed ahead. WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?? Not much like anything you've heard from us before - DOES IT SOUND LIKE THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS??? YOU BET YOU'RE SWEET ASS IT DOES."

The post ended, "Phew, can't wait. We can hardly wait ourselves, we miss all of you and we've been working extra hard on this one with the intention to make you as happy as possible."
