Today, Tune-Yards release their fifth studio album sketchy. out via 4AD / Remote Control Records and share a new video for third single ‘hypnotized’. A soulful plea to stay awake and present in this time of pandemic and oligarchy, the video is directed by Tee Ken Ng and posits the viewer on a never-ending looping train track.
Last week, Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus channelled her puppeteering past for a unique rendition of ‘hypnotized’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Watch the performance here.
sketchy., which includes the singles ‘hold yourself.’, ‘nowhere, man’ and ‘hypnotized’ is out now. Unlike the lyrical introspection of previous outing I can feel you creep into my private life, on sketchy. Merrill balances self-inspection and reflection with bombastic rallying cries, reminiscent of the furious tones of early days Tune-Yards. The result is a colourful and joyous record with lyrics that cut to the bone. “I started remembering that people come to us to be entertained, to move, to feel joy. And together, I think, we can wake up.”
sketchy. is available digitally, on CD, on yellow opaque, translucent blue and standard black vinyl.

AMNPLIFY – TN
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
