The live recording of "Isis" from January 1, 2007, captures the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at a pivotal moment in their career, shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "Show Your Bones." This album, which came out in March 2006, showcased the band's evolution from their raw, noise-laden indie rock roots to a more polished sound featuring introspective lyrics and varied instrumentation. "Show Your Bones" included hits like "Gold Lion" and "Phenomena," further solidifying their presence in the rock scene. During this time, the band was experiencing both commercial success and critical acclaim, and they were poised to expand their audience. In addition, their lively performances, particularly during this period, were known for their intense energy and theatricality, with frontwoman Karen O often captivating crowds with her dynamic stage presence. This recording underscores the band's status as one of the defining bands of the early 2000s alternative rock landscape.
