Hidden in Pieces: Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2LP

Yeah Yeah Yeahs stripped their own songs down to strings and space for this one, Jherek Bischoff and the band reworking roughly two dozen tracks into a small acoustic ensemble for the band's 25th-anniversary tour. Most of what's here was pulled straight from the Royal Albert Hall stop, Karen O, Nick Zinner, and Brian Chase trading the usual noise for something quieter, built, Karen O has said, out of wanting to reconnect with fans after the 2024 election. A companion film from Barnaby Clay captures a performance at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre; this LP comes on bullseye splatter vinyl.
