Sep 26, 2017 Yeah Yeah Yeahs By Christopher Roberts

Yesterday Yeah Yeah Yeahs shared a previously unreleased song, “Phone Jam,” that seemed to date from 2002, and there was speculation they were reissuing their 2003-released debut album, Fever to Tell, and that this was a bonus track from it. That has now been confirmed. A deluxe reissue of the album has now been officially announced and it’s due out October 20 via Interscope/Ume. The band has also shared another previously unreleased song, “Shake It.” Listen to it below, followed by the reissue’s tracklist in its different forms.

The band issued this statement about the reissue via a press release: “A friend of a friend kept asking if we were ever gonna put Fever to Tell out on vinyl as it hasn’t been on vinyl in 10 years. That’s not right. So here it is on vinyl for the first time in 10 years plus a time capsule of photos, demos (1st ever recorded,) a mini film documenting our near downfall and other fun memorabilia, from the turn of the century NYC, made with love + the usual blood, sweat + tears of Yeah Yeah Yeahs.”
