Danger Mouse and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O have teamed up again, reuniting for a new collaborative single called “Super Breath.”
Their first release since sharing their celebrated joint album Lux Prima in 2019, “Super Breath” was written by both artists, with production helmed by Danger Mouse. Singing about unfulfilled love, Karen O’s voice carries the melody, delivering lines like “Quit playin’ cool/ push me aside/ I die each time/ I’m not your fool.” Stream the single below.
With the release of “Super Breath,” Karen O and Danger Mouse also announced a deluxe reissue of Lux Prima, due on September 20th. Along with the original album, the new version will include a 7-inch of “Super Breath,” with the B-side being a previously-recorded cover of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day.” The release also comes with a 16-page booklet highlighting the four-day, immersive listening events the duo hosted at Los Angeles’s Marciano Arts Foundation.
Check out the artwork and packaging for the reissue of Lux Prima below. Pre-orders are ongoing.
Lux Prima was released in March 2019 via BMG Records, and earned praise for its wide palette of sonic influences (even being named Consequence’s Album of the Week). The single “Woman” was nominated for the Best Rock Performance Grammy.
