The album showcases some of their most effortlessly groove-filled music in their career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; text-align: left; caret-color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eDistraction, depression, and heartbreak reign supreme in 2025. “Making art in this day and age for me is a battle for focus; we’re in an age of interruption,” says Garbus of Tune-Yards’ sixth album \u003cem\u003eBetter Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e. Proudly waving an anti-fascist, liberation, freak flag, \u003cem\u003eBetter Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e contains some of Tune-Yards smoothest, funkiest, and most direct pop music to date, and yes, you can dance to it. And when you do dance to it, be prepared to sweat out something that’s been long stuck inside, and pretty deep down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; text-align: left; caret-color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eThe songs of \u003cem\u003eBetter Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e came to Garbus and Brenner with unusual ease. They asked themselves what would happen if they simply let the songs come out, following any trail they wished - first thought, best thought style. There was a strong desire to move, to make music that would enter the ear and immediately loosen up the joints, get the whole body wiggling. After covid-isolation, and time away from touring and live shows, the desire to be moved by music was undeniable. The insane experience of growing an actual human being influenced this as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; text-align: left; caret-color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eThe rhythms throughout the record carry a certain freshness, with deep pockets full of subtle idiosyncrasies that stem from Tune-Yards’ return to making an album primarily as a duo. All but one of these songs are built around Garbus’ drum looping and rhythm building, as they were on some of the early albums like Bird-Brains and W H O K I L L – no full kit drummer here, and the songs love it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; text-align: left; caret-color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBetter Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e is ferocious in its invocation of self-love, of collective action, of dance floor liberation, ego-death deliverance, and a future we could all thrive in. When diving into the present darkness of the world, Tune-Yards asks themselves how much literal energy and joy can be conjured and pumped through the music. In its life-affirming art-pop of the apocalypse, \u003cem\u003eBetter Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e comes true.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"LP - Blue","offer_id":51378189992267,"sku":"R5301-5958","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51378189959499,"sku":"R5301-7457","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51378189926731,"sku":"R5301-6243","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7a66ad4a-8aa6-58da-d45f-505dfd455bab.jpg?v=1741023813","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/better-dreaming","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
