(UPDATE) YYY - Gold Lion
UPDATE: A reader points out that the YYY's original is streaming on the news section of their website (thanks Tim underscore g!). As suspected, it's much slower.
Karen O's voice sounds great in this subdued setting. Nowhere near "Maps" mellow, but teetering on the verge of a primal scream without making the jump. "Oh oooh, oh oooh, oh oooh, aahhh oohh"
More surprising is the acoustic guitar during the intro and verses. It's interchange with the more familiar, surfish Zinner crunch, leads me to believe a fuller sound sound will define Show Your Bones. Nick Zinner's new guitar mate, Imaad Wasif, will evidently translate this onstage. I predict awesomeness to rival an unexpected, delicious cupcake.
You can check more of Imaad Wasif at his myspace page.
This is a picture of Wasif holding a weird head.
