You may find that you haven't had the YYYs' debut on the stereo in a while but doubts over the substance of their material shouldn't obscure the fact that 'Pin' is as good an example of what it is they do as any.
Charging and collapsing exhausted before it has played for two minutes, the track distils their appeal into a concentrated shot of raw, steely guitar, inventively clattering drum brilliance and the frenzied yelp of screeching style banshee, Karen O.
It's true that music journalists have a tendency to reduce acts to neat catch phrases and then post them in the appropriate box. But the truth is, with the YYYs they've genuinely done the work for us themselves.
'Pin' will have you jumping around like a loon, a great big smile stuck on your face for the next few weeks. Pull on your distressed fluorescent gear and enjoy it while it lasts.
