Performer Notes
  • Recording information: Bot Cave, Oakland; Intlxl Studio; Tiny Telephone, Oakland; Women's Audio Mission.
  • Photographer: Ginger Fierstein.
  • Tune-Yards made a timely return with i can feel you creep into my private life, a vibrant album that explores the political and cultural tumult of the late 2010s with anthemic heft and individualistic perspectives. Merrill Garbus' creative process included DJ'ing, taking workshops on race, and doing lots of writing, all of which can be felt in the album's poppier sound, its leaner, more direct confrontations and confessions, and the skill with which she and Nate Brenner examine race, politics, and feminism. They're as confident on big-picture songs like "Coast to Coast" and "ABC 123" which respectively envision a sinking New York and a burning California, as they are on "Look at Your Hands," a bouncy expression of connection and responsibility, and "Colonizer," where Garbus sings about using her "white woman's voice" over a gnawing beat that suggests a colony of termites or a multiplying virus. While i can feel you creep into my private life is less overtly whimsical than Tune-Yards' previous albums, Garbus and Brenner still manage to have fun in ways that don't detract from its urgency. With its junkyard beats and tumbling layers of vocals, "Private Life" is equally joyous and searching -- in other words, quintessential Tune-Yards. Likewise, "Hammer" feels like the spiritual heir to "Water Fountain" in the way it juxtaposes oppression with irresistible rhythms and harmonies. Brenner and Garbus balance dynamic songs like these and the bold opening track "Heart Attack" with reflective moments such as "Home" and the dubby "Who Are You," both of which ensure there's as much questioning as proclaiming on the album. Though many more artists became politically outspoken in the years following W H O K I L L and Nikki Nack, Tune-Yards' passionate commentary and innovative sounds are just as potent as ever, and i can feel you creep into my private life might just be their most cohesive set of songs yet. ~ Heather Phares
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n LP determined to conjure kinetic joy while staring down our present cultural fright show - and which is more potent for it."

Uncut - "It's a big, bold, entertainingly disruptive blast of a record with a mirror-ball lure, refracting everything from Motown to early '80s disco and funk, boom bap, '90s piano house and contemporary R&B..."

Magnet - "Tired of having her political message lost in universes of sound junk and lyrical abstractions, she streamlines both here into danceable nuggets of unmistakable self-criticism."

Mojo (Publisher) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Reflective, restless, fiercely engaged, it feels like it's in a constant process of rethinking and remodelling, slicing off bits of musical flesh and slapping them back on elsewhere as it dips and bounces along the street."

NME (Magazine) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n art-pop world that zings with colour and dances to its own clattering beat."

Paste (magazine) - "PRIVATE LIFE is as socially conscious as albums come....A textured, beat-heavy record, and not just on the bottom end."

Clash (Magazine) - "Tune-Yards have since become a progressively richer, more explicitly political proposition -- but in no way less infectiously joyful."
