Coming up for adds on March 12: Cold War Kids “Can We Hang On?” The Chicago Tribune takes a look at the new Tune-Yards album “On Tune-Yards’ latest album, “I Can Feel you Creep into my Private Life” (4AD), Merrill Garbus unflinchingly interrogates herself. As she pulls apart her contradictions and self-delusions, she calls upon her deepening understanding of dance music — drawing upon rhythms from her past life in Kenya to her current duties as a DJ in Oakland — to keep the air from getting too murky. The merger of a furrowed-brow intellect and hip-freeing rhythm has been a Tune-Yards constant since Garbus made her 2009 bedroom recording, “Bird-Brains.” “I Can Feel you Creep into my Private Life” is both more refined and yet more raw. Garbus is a powerhouse singer, but she’s also exploring more nuanced melodies and phrasing, even as she confronts big subjects: white privilege, cultural appropriation, the end of the world. It never sounds like heavy lifting because the music was built to be blasted through big speakers in a dance club. With bassist Nate Brenner sharing the songwriting and production and Mikaelin Bluespruce, coming off a triumphant collaboration with Solange, doing the mixing, Tune-Yards revels in rhythmic change-ups and unexpected juxtapositions. On “Heart Attack,” a hypnotic piano rhythm unfolds into a matrix of propulsive percussion. Garbus splits the difference between a cry of anguish and one of liberation, her voice hammering like a drum in the chorus, yet also swooning along the song’s edges. The towering “ABC 123” envisions the planet’s “sixth extinc- tion” over a rubbery bass line and typewriter rhythms. In the brutal interrogation of “Colonizer,” Garbus sneers her self-incrimination — “I smell the blood in my voice” — then allows that voice to be swallowed up by the bounding bass and glitchy electro-beats. The mind-body dialogue drives the album until coming to a midpoint rest on “Home,” in which the pulse slows and Garbus’ voice assumes an angelic tone as she sings: “She’s a fool.” The “fool” is the narrator herself, and she’s come to a conclusion: No progress without confrontation, and that includes those who hold themselves blameless while a community or a planet burns.
