About Tune-Yards
Tune-Yards is a musical phenomenon originated and operated by musical duo Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner. Garbus is an east coast born and raised rolling stone that split her formative years between New York and Connecticut, where she would involve herself in the arts from a young age. Merrill would decide to heed the call of higher musical powers when she made her first foray into performing while playing the ukulele for Montreal based band Sister Suvi. Her time spent in Sister Suvi would establish the groundwork for Garbus to eventually launch her own solo career, in the form of Tune-Yards in 2009. The project would consume Merrill as she eventually decided to up and move to Oakland, California, on the outskirts of San Francisco, to unite with fellow Tune-Yards collaborator Nate Brenner.
The duo's earliest releases would be recorded and distributed under inauspicious means, primarily via recycled cassette tapes with mixing done with simple voice recorder. The band's dedicated work ethic would pay off as that same year they picked up a record deal with label 4AD, allowing for their debut to be remastered and rereleased to audiences around the globe.
The band's popularity would steadily rise over the next two years as the band toured throughout North America, eventually heading to the record studio to record their sophomore follow up album that would be their first ever fully written and recorded in a legitimate recording studio. The album would receive nods from the biggest music publications around, including Rolling Stone, Time, the NYT and Spin, with critics naming Tune-Yards as a breath of fresh air on the music scene that was reinventing the traditional pop music track.
Today, Tune-Yards has released three major full length albums and are showing no signs of slowing down as they continue to pioneer their dynamic and addicting sound. With a hectic tour schedule and appearances across multiple mediums of entertainment, Tune-Yards is steadily paving the way to become one of the most musically influential bands of the decade.
Previous Hits
The band's 2011 release Whokill would become a celebrated mainstream success, a dynamic mixture of indie pop and worldbeat jams that received critical and commercial success. The album would hit the top 150 albums on both the UK and US Albums charts, and eventually climb to the #19 spot on the US Alternative board. Pitchfork would name the album as one of the 100 best works of the decade, with the band receiving perfect or near perfect reviews from critics at the Chicago Tribute, Slant Magazine, Sputnikmusic, Spin Magazine, Robert Christgau, PopMatters, The Guardian, and the BBC. The album received a combined 86 out of 100 from Metacritic, primarily on the strength of its singles Bizness, Gangsta, and Killa.
Tune-Yards' 2014 followup Nikki Nack would live up to astronomical expectations as the album hit #4 on the US Alternatives chart, #57 on the UK Albums Charts and #27 on the US Billboard 200. The album would again wow critics, including a 9/10 from Spin and four and a half stars from the critics at AllMusic that would net the album an overall 83 out of 100 from Metacritic. The album featured two fundamental Tune-Yards single tracks, Water Fountain and Wait for a Minute.
