BiRd-BrAiNs (Deluxe) by tUnE-yArDs
Released: Nov 17 2009
BiRd-BrAiNs is the debut record from tUnE-yArDs, the singular musical project of New England native Merrill Garbus.
Recording herself using a digital voice recorder and produced using shareware mixing software, Garbus was described by Stereogum as “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 M.I.A. or post-punk pioneers The Raincoats.
Merrill comments on BiRd-BrAiNs:
“It is a patchwork of sound snippets, of history in a present tense. It is a composer’s
commitment to the preservation of stories, however small and unassuming.”
Contains 2 bonus tracks not on the original release
