Bohemian Like You: tUnE-yArDs (US)

Her third album Nikki Nack has confirmed the American eccentric singer/songwriter Merill Garbus alias tUnE-yArDs is one of the most exciting musicians of the present. She seamlessly blends a thousand and one genres from funk through punk, pop, electro to r'n'b, but remains a highly coherent and original. This is partly achieved through her incomparable vocal skills, together with her amazing live shows.

First gaining notice with the debut BiRd-BrAiNs, which The New York Times called “aconfident do-it-yourselfer's opening salvo: a staticky, low-fi, abrasive attention getter,”  

Garbus forged a reputation as a formidable live presence through relentless touring. In 2011, tUnE-yArDs released its second album, w h o k i l l, a startling and sonically adventurous statement that led to a whirlwind period where Garbus and bassist Nate Brenner accrued accolades from critics (including the #1 spot on the Village Voice's 2011 Pazz and Jop poll), performed in front of increasing numbers of rapturous crowds around the world, and collaborated with the likes of Yoko Ono and ?uestlove. It was a thrilling ride, but it was one that needed a little bit of recovery afterward.
