The art-punk royalty are back with something truly transcendent! Yeah Yeah Yeahs have officially unleashed a breathtaking new live album, Hidden in Pieces Live at the Royal Albert Hall, available digitally today, alongside a companion 22-minute concert film directed by Barnaby Clay streaming now via the Criterion Channel!

• The Story Behind the Magic: As frontwoman Karen O shared in a moving press release, the project was born out of a profound need to commune with their fans in 2025 in the wake of the election. After fine-tuning the arrangements at Sonic Ranch, Texas, the band stepped onto the historic Royal Albert Hall stage and felt literal alchemy take over. Karen noted that Nick Zinner felt his fingers guided on the guitar neck by the spirits of legends past, creating a series of extraordinarily vulnerable shows.
• A Touching Tribute: The entire journey begins with a special opening ode dedicated to the late, great David Lynch, whose passing occurred just a month before the project began. Director Barnaby Clay captured this spirit perfectly, crafting a companion film that feels like a delicate, dream-like memory shrouded in mystery.
• The Release Details: The digital live album features 13 stellar tracks. A physical release drops on October 23 via Secretly Canadian—complete with bonus recordings from U.S. shows that will hit streaming services the same day!
• Turn It Up: Following up on their acclaimed 2022 studio album Cool It Down, this live document proves once again why the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are untouchable. Stream the album and watch the film today!
