Karen O and her fellow Yeah Yeah Yeahs are currently in the studio creating a follow-up to the group's debut Fever to Tell. Although the new album is in the very early stages, Karen anticipates a very different result from their first release with a more folky sound, including acoustic guitar and tabla.

"We've only just begun, and we're playing around with new ideas," Karen told MTV.com, "YYYs have never done a studio album before, where we write all the songs in the studio. This is a radically different process with radically different results-- or not. Too early to identify what direction it is going."

Ms. O has also been collaborating with Kool Keith to record a song called "The Tease" for Deep Throat vs. Lialeh, an album featuring various Seattle artists who conduct a musical-type battle between the 1974 porn flick Deep Throat and the first major black porn film, Lialeh. The plan is for both an EP and album to come out of the project, released this fall and next year, respectively.
