Gli americani Yeah Yeah Yeahs hanno ormai due decenni di vita e si rifanno sentire con un nuovo singolo che anticipa il quinto album, Cool It Down, in uscita a settembre. Spitting Off The Edge of the World ricorda già dal titolo un’attitudine molto rock che spesso, soprattutto in epoca pre-Covid, si poteva osservare sui palchi durante i concerti da parte degli artisti: bere e sputare (a vari livelli di nebulizzazione).
Karen O ne ha fatto quasi una sua personale firma. Adesso, non potendolo fare dal palco, lo fa ‘dai confini del mondo’. Cody Critcheloe dirige il video rappresentando, nella prima parte, quasi un distacco dal passato del quale siamo zombie o solo sopravvissuti, mentre, nella seconda, la speranza riposta nella generazione Z, nella sua energia e voglia di ribellarsi.
