Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O has released the video for 'Rapt' from her forthcoming solo debut album 'Crush Songs', out September 9 on Cult Records. The video was directed by Barney Clay with production design from K.K. Barrett, who is known for his work with Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze.
'Crush Songs' will first be available as a limited, special vinyl edition incorporating Karen’s own personal drawings, handwritten lyrics and more. In addition to this limited edition, the album will be released on standard vinyl, CD and digitally from September 9.
“When I was 27 I crushed a lot,” says Karen of the new record. “I wasn’t sure I’d ever fall in love again. These songs were written and recorded in private around this time. They are the soundtrack to what was an ever continuing love crusade. I hope they keep you company on yours.”
Recorded in 2006 and 2007, the record is an intimate collection of lo-fi, bedroom recordings in the vein of Karen’s Oscar-nominated 'The Moon Song'.
Cult Records is helmed by Julian Casablancas. In addition to Karen O, the Cult roster includes Albert Hammond, Jr., Cerebral Ballzy, Har Mar Superstar, Rey Pila and more.
