Our Take

Tune-Yards' "Nikki Nack" is a whirlwind of sound, a collision of genres that somehow manages to coalesce into a cohesive and utterly unique musical experience. Merrill Garbus, the creative force behind Tune-Yards, is a master of sonic manipulation, blending elements of indie rock, R&B, and Afrobeat into a frenetic, kaleidoscopic tapestry of sound.

From the opening strains of "Find a New Way," with its infectious rhythm and Garbus' powerful vocals, to the quirky, off-kilter "Water Fountain," "Nikki Nack" is an album that refuses to be pigeonholed. Garbus' lyrics are at once playful and profound, imbued with a sense of urgency and a palpable sense of joy.

But it's not just Garbus' songwriting that makes "Nikki Nack" a standout album; it's also her inventive production and keen ear for arrangement. Tracks like "Real Thing" and "Wait for a Minute" are a masterclass in layering and textural complexity, with each listen revealing new depths and nuances.

In short, "Nikki Nack" is a triumph, a bold and adventurous album that showcases Garbus' boundless creativity and singular vision. It's a joyous, exuberant listen that demands to be heard. So don your wildest outfit, crank up the volume, and let Tune-Yards take you on a wild and wonderful musical journey. Trust us, you won't regret it.

Their breakthrough album, "Whokill," released in 2011, received critical acclaim for its infectious hooks and politically charged themes. Tracks like "Bizness" and "Gangsta" showcase Garbus' masterful songwriting skills and knack for creating catchy, danceable tunes with a message. Tune-Yards' latest offering, "I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life," delves into themes of identity, race, and privilege, all while maintaining their signature eclectic sound. Garbus fearlessly tackles difficult subjects, using her platform to shed light on pressing social issues. With their infectious energy and thought-provoking lyrics, Tune-Yards is a breath of fresh air in a sometimes stale musical landscape.
