ROCK

摘要

Formerly a one-woman band, Tune-Yards is now officially a duo. Based in Oakland, California, band leader Merrill Carbus and her collaborator Nate Brenner fashion songs which are spiky, quirky, complicated and yet accessible and enjoyable. Essentially they're an electronic pop band, but songs like 'Now As Then' and 'Honesty' are a bit more avant-garde than the pop charts would find easy to accommodate. Merill Garbus has an exquisitely beautiful voice, which she subjects to all kinds of electronic distortions, delays and samples in an endless pursuit of new sounds and textures in this 12-track release. An incredibly stimulating album, and it's worth the extra effort required to get to grips with it.
