'Heads Will Roll', represents Karen O and Yeah Yeah Yeahs attempt to convince Festival goers that their hazy, light-dance edge is as important to a modern festival as a flushable toilet.
It's another dose of provocative disco-indie that deals in vocal simplicity and certainly attention grabbing.
Toe-tapping percussion rhythm helps the build up to O’s mild spasms of euphoria, power venting and controlled feistiness, as the sliding guitars keeps the tempo from dropping into a pit of lethargy.
The usual quaintness of a Yeah Yeah Yeahs jaunt is still lurking around like a dateless wonder at a disco, but their usual urgency and at times annoying, but irresistible catchiness seems to have been left in the locker room this time around.
You just wonder if Lady Gaga will just have a little too much in the omnipotent femme pop/disco stakes this year, for O and company to demand and capture their usual amount of attention?
