Oakland based Merrill Garbus aka tUnE-yArDs, has garnished quite a bit of national attention this month. With the release of the single ‘Bizness’, her Rolling Stone exposure (as #4 artist to watch), and today’s video release, she’s quickly making ears excited. Handcrafted beats and polyphonic seams hold the sound together, a move away from the soft sounding 2009 album Bird Brains. Her sophomore album whokill is due out April 19th via 4AD. Catch her play at the Great American Music Hall on April 26th with Buke & Gass, and Man/Miracle.
