tUnE-yArDs Set to Beat Down Ohio...

Don't waste your time trying to categorize the sounds created by tUnE-yArDs, just loosen up you neck, your shoulders and your hips and let the rhythm carry you away. Their extended, unfamiliar beats may stretch your ears, but Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner always seem to bring their songs in for a solid landing.

The band has a few upcoming Ohio dates with Xiu Xiu.

Video: Tune-Yards 4AD Sessions...

Tune-Yards is the singular musical project of New England native Merrill Garbus. Possessing an expansive sound that marries a coarse folk ingenuity with the bold pop sensibility of an R&B siren, her debut record Bird-Brains, released on November 16, was assembled with a staunch DIY aesthetic, all dramatically on show in this inaugural showcase for the 4AD Sessions alongside fellow Tune-Yards maestro Nate Brenner.

Safe to say, you have probably never heard anything like this before.
