Yeah Yeah Yeahs Work On New Tracks With Help From Cats

June 5th, 2008

Well is seems that as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs work on new tracks for their forthcoming album they are being inspired by cats. The band revealed on their blog “fuzzy soft muses aka kittens have played a major role in the writing process of YYY’s current and past records. ‘Show Your Bones‘ was written in Sam Spiegel’s home studio amidst the birth of a litter of kittens, little gold lions scrambling around.” It seems one particular kitten has become a muse to the band. Speaking about the special kitten, named Squeker, the band wrote:

“We’ve watched him grow before our very eyes from a blind and helpless little thing into a frisky and fierce little beauty – much like the tunes we’re writing.” The group also revealed that they have moved from the city to the country to continue working on their follow-up 2006’s ‘Show Your Bones‘. One reason for the move…space, “one thing the city don’t have that the country got is SPACE and there has been plenty of spacing out in the studio as of late,” the band wrote.
