Bleep

After a two-album run of electrifying her percussive craft into dance and techno-influenced shapes, Merrill Garbus’ Tune-Yards project gets back behind the live drum kit for sketchy., signalling a back-to-basics approach we haven’t truly heard since 2011’s breakout LP Whokill. The consummate introspection of I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life is still present in the likes of ‘Nowhere, Man’, but Tune-Yards’ characteristic bombast is louder than ever, recalling the kind of ramshackle garage-pop Deerhoof create, with a harder emphasis on the ‘pop’ element of the formula.
