In a somewhat cryptic message via their record label, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs announced this past week that they have been working on a new record. Recording has been done in "a barn in the Northeast" and a ranch in the Southwest." The inspiration for the record? A kitten named Squeaker. The bands reports, "Abandoned by his mother, we've watched him grow before our very eyes from a blind and helpless little thing into a frisky and fierce little beauty—much like the tunes we're writing." Um, sure.
