The video is very similar to the visuals behind his show during 20122s Decibel Festival - kaleidoscopic, colorful, psychedelic, clearly created with design, not just music, in mind. This video features a silhouetted woman wandering through a desert of rippling colors and a magnificent ruby red sun.

The Global Citizen Tickets Initiative is a new nonprofit venture in which stars like Kanye West, Beyonc, and Bruce Springsteen donate tickets to their shows, which you can enter to win by sharing Facebook videos about poverty. (Learn more about it here .) One of the artists participating is My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James, who dropped his solo album Regions Of Light And Sound Of God earlier this year. And now, in conjunction with the initiative, he's recruited tUnE-yArDs to remix his placid single " A New Life ."

" A New Life " es una de las canciones ms romnticas que han aparecido en esta primera parte del ao, y estoy seguro que muchos de ustedes podrn estar de acuerdo conmigo despus de haber checado el lbum que Jim James edit hace unos meses en forma de "Regions of Light and Sound of God". Ahora, esa cancin ha pasado por las manos de uno de los actos que la verdad ya ni recordaba, pese a que hace dos aos el nombre de tUne-yArDs haba estado desfilando por todas partes, as que espero que despus [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-06T13:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4934122/hear-tune-yards-remix-jim-james-a-new-life/
Last week, Jim James and My Morning Jacket lent a hand in launching the world hunger and social awareness program, Global Citizen Tickets Initiative, which allows fans to enter into lotteries for two donated tickets at participating artists' shows for the next three years. It's a cool idea and something that's turned plenty of artists' heads, including tUnE-yArDs' Merrill Garbus, who submitted a remix of James' splendid single, "A New Life". Garbus retains much of the original's DNA, injecting her signature erratic percussion and a baggie of harmonies that feel cribbed from Tina [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-29T04:50:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4920103/album-review-the-knife-shaking-the-habitual/
Have you ever felt truly confronted by a piece of music or artwork? If so, it's probably due to its honest exposure, releasing an intense, raw image that sits with you for an almost unnecessary long period of time. It's usually because it obliges you to delve into its layers, finding meaning or just simply staring back at it with amazement. If you've had a proper listen to THE KNIFE 's Shaking The Habitual , I expect you understand what I mean by this completely. Seven years since the Swedish duo released [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-31T20:08:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4902714/best-new-music-releases-week-of-march-26-wavves/
Feast your ears on this: one of the best singles' playlist of new bands so far this year. Of course, the predominant buzz about this weeks' new releases revolves around new albums by heavy-hitter bands like Wavves, The Strokes and Depeche Mode and Wire leading the way.

Photo by Shervin Lainez My first listen to Xenia Rubinos was similar in some ways tomy first tUnE-yArDs listen. When I heard tUnE-yArDs for the first time, it wrecked my concepts of pop song structure and then rebuilt them with expanded parameters and higher creative expectations for the pop I would hear thereafter.The difference is Xenia Rubinos isnt breaking down barriers so much as completely ignoring them.

Week's Top Releases The Albums You Need to Know About Every Week I'm in love with this week's releases. The freshmen and veterans are equally crazy, sexy and cool, leading me to believe I'm crashing a party where everyone is both highly attractive and smart. The planets have aligned to produce a superhuman group of sounds, and I hope you're as geeked as I am. Let's do this.

I've been a staunch supporter of Merrill Garbus's experimental vocal project tUnE-yArDs since the group's 2009 debut BiRd-BrAiNs. The band's sophomore LP W H O K I L L earned a mention near the top of my " Best Albums" list from 2011 . Yesterday, tUnE-yArDs released a limited edition 103 featuring covers of Yoko Ono's " We're All Water " and " Warrior Woman ." The release is the second in a series of 103 singles featuring covers of material from Ono's back catalog. 100% of the proceeds from the vinyl and digital [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-13T11:11:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4778478/yoko-ono-releases-tune-yards-as-yoko/
In 2010, Yoko Ono performed several shows with the Plastic Ono Band and special guests. At the Orpheum in Los Angeles, Iggy Pop, Mike Watt, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Perry Farrell, RZA, Lady Gaga, Carrie Fisher and Joseph Gordon-Levitt paid tribute to Yoko , performing songs from throughout her career. Yoko also invited a young group she had recently fallen in love with: tUnE-yArDs , whose breakthrough album, Whokill , [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-12T12:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4774482/tune-yards-releases-yoko-ono-covers-in-benefit-of-hurricane-sandy/
Experimental maverick, tUnE-yArDs has released a new single comprising of Yoko Ono covers. The tracks featured include 'We're All Water', from Ono's 1972 album with John Lennon, Some Time in New York City. This will be backed bya remix of Ono's 'Warrior Woman', lifted from19732s Feeling the Space LP. It's not the first timeMerrill Garbus has covered Ono either, as she appeared at the singer'sseries of shows at L.A.'s the Orpheum back in 2010.

The newest episode of Austin City Limits aired Saturday night with a pair of performances by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and tUnE-yArDs . Edward Sharpe played "40 Day Dream", "Up From Below", and "Om Nashi Me" from their 2009 debut, Up from Below , and "That's What's Up" from last year's Here .

Every year I find a plethora of music that would fit perfectly on my year end music lists. Unfortunately, a large majority of the music I discover is from years before and therefore disqualified from my arbitrary year end list making rules. That's why I've decided to make a list of the favorite artists and songs I discovered last year whose music was actually released previous to 2012. There can only be so many Rodriguez's out there, so the majority of my list consists of bands from the past few years who forever reason [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-11T14:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4714223/shadows-on-stars-when-it-builds/
