New/Sealed
 
Lux Prima is the first release from iconic Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O and legendary musician-producer Danger Mouse. The two originally met to discuss collaboration in 2007 as mutual admirers, but in 2015, they got serious and made a plan - entering the studio with no sonic parameters and a handful of references - Lux Prima was born.
"Title track Lux Prima is the first song we wrote for the record," says O. "After making music for the past twenty years and embarking on making this record with Danger Mouse I knew a couple things: one was that the spirit of collaboration between us was going to be a pure one, and two was that the more I live the less is clear to me. When you create from a blurry place you can go places further than you've ever been. I think we both were excited to go far out."
"'Woman' came like a bolt out of the blue when we were in the studio," adds O. "We did a first pass where I was blurting unintelligible words and Danger Mouse and I were like ‘Dang! That was intense. What's that word I keep saying? Woman.' The atmosphere was volatile with it being just after the election. A lot of people felt helpless like you do when you're a scared kid looking for assurance that everything is gonna be alright. I like to write songs that anyone can relate to but this one felt especially for the inner child in me that needed the bullies out there to know you don't fuck with me. I'm a woman now and I'll protect that inner girl in me from hell and high water."
