'bird-brains' started as a pay what you want release on www.tune-yards.com and now has been picked up by 4ad. merrill garbus, the one woman force behind tune-yards, recorded her debut album 'bird-brains' at essentially zero cost to herself: using a laptop with free software and voice recorder that were both gifts. on the album you can hear african chants, merrill's oft-picked ukulele, stolen drum beats, a free spirit, electronics, a shapeshifting voice and unique yet instantly accessible pop music. it comes across like a self-contained sublime frequencies compilation, jumping between blues, african tunes, shiny reggae-esque sprawls, and lo-fi folk, infusing the worldly sonic palette of mia, or post-punk pioneers the raincoats. the album ranges from the surreal to the sublime, with 'lions' - halfway between a singsong schoolyard rhyme and a graveyard blues whilst 'jamaican' could be the blueprint to a timbaland-produced gem with it's ricocheting drums pattern and intoxicating tape loops. an intimate yet powerful album that is a must own for fans of micachu, animal collective etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50443242209611,"sku":"319317","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e140bcd0-8c16-4b57-93f5-340fa916be62_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727011192","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/bird-brains-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
