Karen O says Yeah Yeah Yeahs are on a 'hiatus'

Karen O has admitted that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs won't be releasing new music for some time yet.

The trio's last album came via 2013's 'Mosquito' and singer Karen O told NME that they are taking a prolonged break at the moment.

However, the US star is confident the group will easily resume duties when the time comes.

She said: "We're on a bit of a hiatus at the moment, so nothing yet. We have to wait to get the urge, get that itch.

"The time needs to be right and we're okay waiting for that, I think. When we do it'll be like muscle memory, this unspoken thing between the three of us where it all just... locks in."

'Mosquito' meanwhile was the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' fourth album and it reached No.5 in the US.
