Yeah Yeah Yeahs Spitting Off the Edge of the World ft. Perfume GeniusWatch at the source
A soaring power‑ballad of existential defiance and climate urgency, “Spitting Off the Edge of the World” blends Karen O’s emotional vulnerability and Perfume Genius’s spectral vocals over Dave Sitek’s expansive synth soundscape. Directed by Cody Critcheloe, the video features a surreal tableau—Karen perched atop a Mad‑Max limousine as Perfume Genius navigates—capping with a visceral live‑style performance drenched in spit, flame, and raw energy.
