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 [...]

The tUne-yArDs' album,  w h o k i l l , was an album that was in my top 5 of 2011. It may have even been my favorite album of last year and I have been in the market to attend one of their shows for the past year and a half. I finally made it happen at Summerfest for my birthday. July 1st, 2012 will go down as one of my better birthdays of recent memory. Merrill Garbus is an unreal and unusual [...]

Now we're talking. From Knitting Factory Records : In support of the (RED) Rush to Zero initiative to help end the transmission of HIV from moms to their babies, we are donating proceeds of this wonderful remake of Fela’s "Lady" by tUnE-yArDs, Angélique Kidjo, ?uestlove, and Akua Naru to the charity. We would love your support! Stream the track below and buy the track exclusively from iTunes . The remake preserves the source material's scorching acoustic jazz and acid-blues-arena-rock McCartneyism, while paring off some limbs, offering a second-verse [...]

De malas prontas para o Brasil, onde ser apresenta, dia 02 abril, em festa fechada no Cine Joia , tUnE-yArDs acaba de divulgar o vídeo de My Country , terceiro para o elogiado álbum w h o k i l l . Com direção do Mimi Cave , o clipe equilibra o experimentalismo e psicodelia característicos do projeto liderado por Merill Garbus com a inocência das crianças do Brightworks and San Francisco Rock Project. Confira logo abaixo essa combinação:

As if one Merrill Garbus wasn't enough, the new video for "My Country" off tUnE-yArDs’ w h o k i l l brings in a slew of miniature Garbuses (Garbusi?) to dance, make faces and just try their best to act as close to Merrill Garbus as possible. They each do a remarkable job, which is kind of eerie. tUnE-yArDs - "Bizness"

Después de un año del lanzamiento de w h o k i l l , llega el siguiente corte del disco, titulado " My Country ". En el video dirigido por Mimi Cave podemos ver a Merrill Garbus jugando con niños que podemos (o no) recordar del clip de " Bizness ", y es entonces cuando todo hace sentido: En realidad es mucho más fácil comprender el concepto de la banda si imaginamos a Merrill como una niña atrapada en el cuerpo de una persona adulta. En fin, el video es [...]

Many of the adorable kids that populated Merrill Garbus' choreographed dance video for  whokill's initial single "Bizness" are back for another round of cuteness in this slightly more freestyled video for "My Country." As the album opener, this song did a wonderful job signaling that although Tune-Yards might've gotten a slick production upgrade, the attitude [...]

tUnE-yArDs debut clip for latest sinlge 'My Country,' from their critically acclaimed album ' Whokill .' Merrill Garbus gets to live out her childhood in this amusing visual, oh the joy of being young again kids sometimes don't realize how good they have it. Watch the Mimi Cave directed video above.

    Hace casi un año salió el maravilloso w h o k i l l de tUne-yArDs, y la verdad es que no nos cansamos de escucharlo. El día de hoy se estrenó el video de "My Country" el tercer sencillo de ésta producción. tUnE-yArDs se presentará en México el próximo 5 de mayo en el festival 5punto5. Enjoy.

Here's an absolutely amazing, feel good video for 'My Country', one of the many highlights of Tune-Yards' second album w h o k i l l . Fact: the world would be a much better place if all her children took after Merill Garbus. The video's stars are from the [Read more]

It's a Tune-Yards sandwich. Welcome to the first Reselect New Music Monday (which I announced last week )! I'm excited, how about you? I'm starting out with a song that came out in April 2011, just barely under my self-imposed New Music Monday deadline of 12 months since release. It's by Merrill Garbus, who goes by the name "Tune-Yards" (frequently written in writeups about her as "tUnE-yArDs" because that's how she has it written on her albums - but I find it odd that some people carry that over to writing about her, because plenty of bands [...]

• TUnE-YArDs - Powa

Merrill Garbus extends her already immense tour schedule.

via Instagram @centralalley​Some people are mad at rock 'n' NBA critic Chuck Klosterman at the moment. This has to do with "The Pitfalls of Indie Fame," published yesterday on ESPN-offshoot commentary

Amidst a chorus of Nina Simone-like vocal loops, Memphis style horns and African drumbeats, Merrill Garbus brings down the motherfucking house. That’s the best way I can think to describe “Bizness,” the standout track from tUnE-yArDs’ W H O K I L L and hands-down the best track of 2011. On top of being an exhilarating shot of musical adrenaline, “Bizness” feels important . Experimental pop occasionally lacks an edge; even some of this year’s best releases don’t have enough energy to move the crowd. But “Bizness” should put doubters on notice that you don’t need a [...]
