Music was quite the companion during finals and this particular band was one of the reasons why. tUnE-YarDs (yeah, the spelling is annoying to me too) is the indie-pop-art project of Merrill Garbus. Her second release, which was put out in April, entitled
w h o k i l l is an absolutely remarkable record. It never gets to the point where the "experimental" aspects give you a headache, nor does the "pop" aspects of it ever get repetitive. In this sense the album as a whole actually reminds me a great deal of Dirty Projectors'
Bitte Orca. Another great thing about the album is that the opener, "My Country," brilliantly sets up the rest of sound on
w h o k i l l. If you dig this song, then you gotta' hear the rest of the album.
