Daily Dose: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “Shake It”

Daily Dose is your daily source for the song you absolutely, positively need to hear every day. Curated by the Paste Music Team.

On Monday, Yeah Yeah Yeahs released “Phone Jam” a previously unheard 2002 demo that had been part of the sessions from their 2003 album, Fever to Tell. The song came with a Twitter post that teased “tomorrow” for some info on a possible reissue of the album.

Now the New York trio have dropped another unreleased Fever to Tell track, the crawling “Shake It,” and announced that the album will indeed be rereleased on vinyl for the first time in 10 years and as part of a limited-edition box set that includes “a time capsule of photos, demos (first ever recorded), a mini film documentary,” and other memorabilia. You can find those goodies here ahead of an Oct. 20 release date. Check out the tracklist for the deluxe edition of the album at the bottom of this post.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs also shared some info on upcoming live shows, which will be their first in four years. On Twitter, they posted photos of the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles with the date of Oct. 25 listed on the marquee along with the lyric “Wait they don’t love you like I love you,” from Fever to Tell’s “Maps,” and another of the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn with the date of Nov. 7 and “Date With the Night” on the marquee.
