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 2012-07-02T17:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4365632/tune-yards-do-not-disappoint-at-summerfest/


The tUne-yArDs' album, w h o k il 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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-06-05T10:56:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4309006/cover-fela-kutis-lady-by-tune-yards-et-al/


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 Felas "Lady" by tUnE-yArDs, Anglique 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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-04-15T17:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4201851/clipe-tune-yards-my-country/


De malas prontas para o Brasil, onde ser apresenta, dia 02 abril, em festa fechada no Cine Joia , tUnE-yArDs acaba de divulgar o vdeo de My Country , terceiro para o elogiado lbum w h o k i l l . Com direo do Mimi Cave , o clipe equilibra o experimentalismo e psicodelia caractersticos do projeto liderado por Merill Garbus com a inocncia das crianas do Brightworks and San Francisco Rock Project.

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"]]> text/html 2012-04-11T16:42:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4193621/nuevo-video-de-tune-yards-my-country/


Despus de un ao 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 nios que podemos (o no) recordar del clip de " Bizness ", y es entonces cuando todo hace sentido: En realidad es mucho ms fcil comprender el concepto de la banda si imaginamos a Merrill como una nia atrapada en el cuerpo de una persona adulta. En fin, el video es [...]]]> text/html 2012-04-11T16:06:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4193509/video-tune-yards-my-country/
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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-04-11T16:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4193501/tune-yards-my-country/

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 barelyunder 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 [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-21T16:50:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4077578/tune-yards-announce-us-tour-dates/

Amidst a chorus of Nina Simone-like vocal loops, Memphis style horns and African drumbeats, Merrill Garbus brings down the motherfucking house. Thats 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 years best releases dont have enough energy to move the crowd. But Bizness should put doubters on notice that you dont need a [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-06T06:39:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3969497/video-tune-yards-bizness-and-you-yes-you-live/
