Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Despair' video on the Empire State Building

Yeah Yeah Yeahs unveiled the video for the "Mosquito" track called "Despair". The spectacular clip was directed by Patrick Daughters (who also directed the YYYs videos for "Maps", "Turn Into", "Date With the Night", and "Gold Lion") and shot on top of the  Empire State Building.

"There's been a lot of career highs and lows over the years of being in a band, but in the end, how many can say they shot a video on the top of the Empire State Building? We win", said Karen O in a press release. "Move out the way, King Kong, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are gonna get real with you up in this piece!".

Karen O, talking about the experience of shooting the video, said: "I gotta say I had a ‘the impossible is possible’ moment up there with Nick and Brian. If someone would have sat us down at the Mars Bar years back and told us that we'd be performing our music on the top of the Empire State Building one day, we probably would have thought that's the stuff that dreams are made of, not us, no way".

Enjoy...
