yeah yeah yeahs - sacrilege
they're baaaack! after a 4 year hiatus, karen o and crew return with a massive new single (which reaches fever pitch with a full on gospel choir!) leading up to their new album 'mosquito' in april. if the rest of the album is anything like this wonderful single, then we have a great new album on our hands!
