Thematically channeling grief and rage into sound.

Tune-Yards, aka Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner, are releasing a new album, called Sketchy, via 4AD this March.

Inspired by Beastie Boys Book and Questlove’s Creative Quest, the album sees Tune-Yards creating layered instrumentals with Garbus on drums and Nate on bass.

Alongside the announcement, Tune-Yards have shared new video and song ‘hold yourself’, which explores Garbus’ feelings of betrayal towards her parents’ generation.
