YEAH YEAH YEAH JUST ARRIVED OUT OF THE BLUE. I JUST TOOK A CHANCE. I HAD SOME IDEAS FOR A NEW ALBUM ID BEEN WORKING ON, BUT WE WERENT PLANNING ON RECORDING UNTIL THE YEAR AFTER.

IT ALL HAPPENED VERY FAST. THERE WAS A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY- YOUTH WAS FREE, THE STUDIO WAS FREE, AND THE BAND WERE FREE- AND I THOUGHT, LET PROVIDENCE PREVAIL. NO ONE HAD HEARD THE SONGS APART FROM MYSELF AND ALAN MCGEE, BUT WE BOTH THOUGHT THAT WE HAD SOMETHING. YOU COULD FEEL IT, EVEN THOUGH NONE OF THE SONGS WERE REALLY FINISHED, AND SO WE DECIDED TO ROLL WITH IT AND GO AND RECORD THEM.

I THINK WITH YEAH YEAH YEAH IT WAS MORE THAN JUST TRYING TO CAPTURE A VIBE- IT WAS ABOUT TRYING TO RECORD SOMETHING MAJESTIC, WHICH IS HOW YOUTH DESCRIBES THE RECORD.

THERE ARE GOSPELS AND STRINGS ON TRACKS LIKE FREE LOVE AND DONT LOOK AWAY, WHICH HAVE KIND OF TURNED INTO THESE MASSIVE ANTHEMS. IT HAS P.P. ARNOLD AS A FEATURED VOCALIST ON A COUPLE OF TRACKS- THE FIRST, THE SINGLE POISON VINE, WHICH HAS A GROOVE AND A BLISTERING CHORUS. SHES ALSO ON ANOTHER SONG THATS A PSYCHEDELIC FUNK TRACK: THE WAY ITS GOTTA BE (OH YEAH). SONGS LIKE TEARDROPS OR BIRDS HEADING SOUTH- WEVE TRIED TO CAPTURE THAT CLASSIC, SLIGHTLY WISTFUL THEME- WHEREAS THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD JUST ROCKS OUT.

THERES ALSO A LITTLE ACOUSTIC TRACK TO BREAK IT ALL UP CALLED THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP, WHICH IS A FAVOURITE OF MINE.

WE RECORDED THE ALBUM OVER IN SPAIN AT SPACE MOUNTAIN, YOUTHS STUDIO, WAY UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, JUST AS THE ALMOND TREES WERE IN BLOSSOM- WHICH I TOOK AS A GOOD OMEN FOR THE SESSION
