I really am loving Mosquito this week, which you can hear, accompanied with a track-by-track interview, below. Which is why she's able to do things like fuse dubby reggae beats, gospel choirs and old-school rap with indie-punk, and still come out with a classy, psychedelic chill-fest that is as far from the No Doubt nightmare it looks like on paper as is humanly possible. There are few who come close to her showmanship, gutsy lyricism and stylistic individualism in modern music. She was donning outrageous costumes way before Gaga (disco kimono, anyone?), jumping in crowds long before Alice Glass and eating microphones well ahead of… Anyone else who eats microphones. ![]() And, aside from her incredible Coachella performance, the 10 th anniversary of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the release of Mosquito, their first album since 2009's It's Blitz, she occupies a unique place in the far-shorter-than-it-should-be list of great rock 'n' roll frontwomen. ![]() We're not sure if you've noticed, but there's been an awful lot of Karen O love on the site this week.
