Yeah Yeah Yeahs have returned with new song "Spitting Off the Edge of the World," a collaboration with Perfume Genius.

Speaking about the new song in a statement, lead singer Karen O said fear for the future of the environment were on her mind while writing it. "I see the younger generations staring down this threat, and they’re standing on the edge of a precipice, confronting what’s coming with anger and defiance," she says. "It’s galvanizing, and there’s hope there."
