It’s inspired by the times I’ve wondered if I need to get help with my drinking and what it meant that I was worrying about things in the first place?” - Aaron on the single Ron Gallo “HIDE (MYSELF BEHIND YOU)” From PEACEMEAL, out February 12 ON: WRLT, WFUV, WXPN, WYMS, KCSN, KJAC, WCNR, WEHM, WNRN, WCLX, WLKR, WJCU, KROK... “HIDE is about being with someone because how they make you feel or the idea of them rather than who they really are. Sometimes we say “I love you, I want to be with you” but maybe we really mean “I don’t like me, I don’t want to be with myself and you can help distract me from me.” - Ron The press is weighing in on the new Tune-Yards single “For a dozen years, Merrill Garbus’ eclectic agit-pop project has bounded through volatile lyrical ter- rain. “hold yourself.,” the second single from sketchy.—Tune-Yards’ upcoming fifth album—doesn’t shy away from either of those tendencies, exactly. But it’s also elegant and, by Tune-Yards standards, under- stated in a way we haven’t heard from Garbus and her longtime collaborator, bassist and husband Nate Brenner, for a long time. From the homemade intimacy of 2009’s Bird-Brains to the kitchen-sink hyper-consciousness of 2018’s I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life, Tune-Yards’ trajectory has been toward expansion. Yet “hold yourself.” reaches out by turning back inward. Centered around Garbus’ powerhouse vocals, the gauzy, bass-heavy beat ballad delivers a potent message of self-empowerment: The sins of our forefathers are in our own hands, not anyone else’s. An album ago, this might have come off as didactic, but it doesn’t here because Garbus is talking to herself, as well as a child she says she can’t have. “We all have trouble being brave enough to turn the page,” Garbus acknowledges. “But we will.” In the closing seconds, a customary Tune-Yards clatter returns; even the trendily lower-cased and punctuated title harks back to the typographical oddities of an artist originally stylized as tUnE-yArDs. Garbus has been communing with a smaller indie world since the days of Occupy, and she tiptoed toward Hollywood with the deliriously off-kilter score for Boots Riley’s 2018 film Sorry to Bother You. Now, she’s belting this weirdly joyful hymn to self- doubt, muddling through this moment with the ambiguity it demands. As Garbus sang more than a decade ago, on the first song many critics heard from Tune-Yards, “I am not magic yet/But I am in bloom at the end of the world.” - Pitchfork, 1/27/21 “Art-pop duo tUnE-yArDs have announced their first new album in three years. It’s called sketchy. and due out March 26th via 4AD. Better yet, they’re giving fans a taste of what to expect with the single “hold yourself.”, which you can stream below. sketchy. spans 11 tracks in total, including the previously released “nowhere, man” from last year. The follow-up to 2018’s i can feel you creep into my private life sees Tune-Yards drawing influence from Beastie Boys Book, Questlove’s Creative Quest, and ruthless jam sessions in their home studio. From the sound of it, this album will be just as wired and zany as their original music for Boots Riley’s movie Sorry to Bother You. As for today’s “hold yourself.”, Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner ditch their digital gear for live instruments, the result of which makes for a rather down-to-earth, rhythmic, indie pop number.
