An EP of brand-new Yeah Yeah Yeahs studio recordings, Is Is represents the heart of this riveting band--the interplay between Karen, Nick and Brian--on five lean and urgent tracks that best capture the excitement of the band's live shows. The band's most rabid fans may recognize some of these tracks from the band's live sets, but they have remained live faves only, as they never thematically fit the band's full-length albums--until now.
