Yeah Yeah Yeahs : Machine
...seems to be an eroticised and faintly desperate paean to doing someone else's washing...
Could be getting the wrong end of the stick here, but the second release from the outrageously fine Yeah Yeah Yeahs
seems to be an eroticised and faintly desperate paean to doing someone else's washing. A metaphor, possibly, unless the fast-moving New York scene decided launderettes were the new multi-functional performance spaces while we weren't looking.
Whatever: 'Machine' is another quite brilliant extrapolation of some early work by PJ Harvey and Siouxsie & The Banshees, featuring a riff that sounds like a landslide and Karen O phoning in her vocals from what may well be something of a compromising position. Probably doing the ironing, at a guess.
