Stone ’11, the play’s director, in an email. As a result, this...
...with your head / Dance ’til you’re dead / Heads will roll / On the floor,” multiple synth lines whirl, finally dropping out altogether to leave a drum beat reminiscent of LCD Soundsystem.Later tracks offer a more nuanced and diverse vision of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ new sound. “Skeletons” is a magisterial ballad that is remarkably gripping given its chilly atmospherics and unsettling percussion. The simple lyrics (no line is longer than three words) rely mostly on word association—“Fall asleep / Spin...
