Lux Prima

Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release. Lux Prima is the debut album from Yeah Yeah Yeahs vocalist Karen O and acclaimed producer Danger Mouse. Includes the single, 'Woman.' The straightforward rock stomper puts the Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman's vocals on display as she screams and croons. "'Woman' came like a bolt out of the blue when we were in the studio," explains O. "We did a first pass where I was blurting unintelligible words and Danger Mouse and I were like 'Dang! That was intense. What's that word I keep saying? Woman.' The atmosphere was volatile with it being just after the election. A lot of people felt helpless like you do when you're a scared kid looking for assurance that everything is gonna be alright. I like to write songs that anyone can relate to but this one felt especially for the inner child in me that needed the bullies out there to know you don't f*** with me. I'm a woman now and I'll protect that inner girl in me from hell and high water."
