Karen O's NYC Rockers, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back with Mosquito, a heavily anticipated album for April. On their fourth album, they downplay synths, programmed beats, and other gadgetry in favor of drums, guitars, and a mix of rock and inward-looking ballads.Something of a grower, Mosquito has perhaps the widest range of sounds and moods the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have ever presented on one set of songs. It might not be as cohesive as their best albums, but the standout songs rival their finest moments. I think you need to give it about three listens to decide. If anything, Mosquito may be an indicator of a band finally settling into their "sound", with the next album being the make or break moment.
