tUnE-yArDs - Bizness

[@dougtond1380]

What a blessing to have that voice and to use it to shout indescribable music in a library 💚

[@silentdecay]

cute about the window display. . . the band blows minds and rocks socks simultaneously !!! pure gold.

[@KenSkodacek]

Just finding this very early performance of a great song - it’s 2023.

[@bmbenblog]

i just found this group about fifteen minutes ago. you know that awesome feeling when you find great new music? wow, thanks.

[@facedo21]

I love getting turned on to new music! This is awsome!!! Thanx for posting it

[@truthseeker6231]

I found this song on Transparent. as soon as I heard it I had to look up what it was. my god the pipes on her. I'm in love with what this song embodies...everything about it. just isn't talent like this anymore ...gotta look deep and find it...I'm glad I found you guys. bravo

[@ballyhoops]

Agreed! They make extraordinarily great music and are so under appreciated. Love this band.

[@ManofSteel1898]

she's so sweet...and then that music starts. tUnE-yArDs is phenomenal...

[@jekel410]

i love this group reminds you of how free music and artists should be

[@xWaRpeDx]

Her usual bassist is a Nate Brenner. I don't know if he is the bassist here but it might be him. I love the shit out of this song and tune-yards, she sounds exactly the same live as she does on her album..now that is a true musician! Oh I also think the drummer with the white t-shirt is awesome, he gets so into the song it's great.

[@drum998]

I've been scouring KZbin and Spotify for this band ever since first hearing them on saturday. I can't stop listening to them, superb stuff!

[@ElizaMogha]

well done!! this is really creative! loved it!

[@NauticalDisasta]

Wow. I just caught the video for this on The Wedge on Much Music and had to see more. This is insanely brilliant!

[@kbh590]

DAMN, that is one outstanding jam session, quietly nestled between the silence of the books! F-in Awesome. The ultimate good vibes!

[@whateIseisthere]

Very impressive with all the on-site made samples.

[@vania1]

I found the song through babyteeth and the whole week I've been listening to it I thought that the singer is a man... ma'am you killed me with those vocals...

[@angelaortquist9432]

One of my favorites!

[@ZwienerZ]

When I first heard this song I didn't like it, but the more I listen to it, the more I love it! And watching it live is amazing!

[@stacyface88]

Keep illuminating this world with rhythm and light! Beautiful! I am sharing this to anyone who will listen, and I already bought 2 of your CD's and am lovin it up!

[@edithvedder]

Lo puedo ver seis veces a día y cada vez me parece más espectacular. Que banda!

[@pyrrho314]

@planetahead : the "band" formed around her (and she seems to play with different musicians afai can tell)... she was doing one girl band stuff as a street musician with a loop machine... is my understanding. She booked her OWN tour, and got discovered by the independent labels.

[@tcoreyb]

She kicks ass. Best album of 2011 so far

[@narudh]

man that is one hell of a performance. PERFORMANCE.

[@pyrrho314]

god I love her art so much.... she's invented something great... I think this is the start of a new universe.

[@thatsamfeeling529]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freaking unique and wicked wicked wicked.

[@AnaAerophina]

Merrill is such an inspiration to me as a female composer. It's heartening to see a woman this completely intelligent, innovative, and just plain talented. To top it off, she achieved success without relying on being attractive. I want to be her when I grow up.

[@JamesLavinTheOnly]

what a back handed compliment

[@JamesLavinTheOnly]

both for calling her ugly and saying other women got their musical success from their looks

[@Cassieandra11]

lost for words, tune yards are TOOO awesome. wow

[@mrtnpope]

extra extraordinary

[@jeremologyy]

i am loving this song. cannot wait for the new album. ps: +1 for the Heartland LP in the background.

[@ggingervitis]

I can't stop watching this video! I love the beginning.

[@kerriohalloran]

She is unreal

[@dukeneukem4747]

indeed she is

[@danocaws]

I love your performance, kisses from Brazil 💚

[@1blackfrend]

Fascinating! The female aggressively sings in a buffalo type stance whilst her male counterparts ....party in the background. Is this tubthumping?

[@woodxttyy]

lol

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

yall are so unique!! I love it, Merrill you are a genious!!! thank you

[@marksu2292]

the outpouring at the front of the song is just great. anything seems possible after that . . .

[@aftermiles]

Ok, first off, I'm a fan, but I have to say I get a HUGE Charlie Brown vibe from this video.

[@SolidVidKid]

I dig her music so freaking much! Ugh! it makes me wish i was that talented. she's amazing

[@Leachimification]

that intro...so much soul.

[@bossofly]

Siete dei grandi, vi adoro

[@asphaltrox]

I so pictured this singer as a young black man. My apologies. That's a damn powerful voice and I am sooo jealous of it.

[@PattyOgamer]

ever since i found water fountain my imagination for creativity has grown.

[@luistillan]

If there would be someone to compare this rich in sound song with it would be a Mix between Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye,Bjork and Aretha Franklin????...... most spiritually empowering song I have heard in while!

[@illingsworth]

twitter sent me i guess

[@MrWilydw]

brilliant

[@cumensu]

@DJesthp, lol same here. Lil Wayne's rapping style wouldn't work for a bookstore. But there are many other rap artist's music that would work in a bookstore. But then I wouldn't want to listen to the tuneyards while reading my book. Imagine reading and you keep here ahh ahh ahh don't take me life away, dada da dum dum. I would lose it. But this song is so creative! Love it!

[@TaintedBlu]

My goodness this is wonderful. MUSICALITY OVERLOAD :D

[@ChaneLouise]

I friggen LOVE the drummer with the white T

[@dopealiscious]

This song is off the meter!!!

[@pyrrho314]

@marzrei : she uses a loop machine, but she only records it during the performance (which explains the way her songs start (espc live)).

[@xWaRpeDx]

She recreates her sound live in such awesome ways, i think merril/tuneyards is great

[@nataliekw]

@hamlanzon6 I heard this song on 89.3 the Current - Minnesota Public Radio! It got stuck in my head and that's how I ended up here. So, GOOD radio will play this ;)

[@mmeye19]

pretty incredible.

[@edithvedder]

I love the drumssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

[@daithi9392]

Came here cos some loser is complaining about it on twitter lol. This song fucking slaps

[@shameful3604]

I'm actually also from twitter but because that was the first time I heard it and I want to hear how bad it is some more

[@jlsbullock]

fantastic!

[@TheA147512]

trippy.... I love it.

[@CRoberts-um6uj]

get up, get up, get up... a tribute to her days hosting the Caribbean music show in college? this shit's hard though-it's the biznass

[@mimi42428]

has alot of west african musical influences.even the way she sings

[@feldsein]

freakin fantastic !

[@lookatmefoo]

if only music was more real like this

[@britsy5053]

why are there so many hateful comments on this video? it's like people enjoy saying dumb things about something they don't understand, why play the the (I know what they are trying to be) card, instead, listen to the song, understand the lyrics, if it doesn't speak to you then go fucking home and listen to something that does. shit.

[@KkkolinxD]

I like that the only difference between this and the studio recording seems to be that the vocals are quieter than the instruments

[@honeyTrappe]

Love it!!

[@Phabulouso]

I want to live in a world where tUnE-yArDs makes millions of dollars selling out coliseums and going platinum while L'il Wayne is playing at book stores, hoping to sell at least one CD.

[@momakesgoodmeatloaf]

amazing talent

[@hiddeninthesand]

Thanks, Zatch. They should play a gig with my boys in Tally Hall.

[@shred_savage]

just got the new album. It's awesome

[@gwenmud16]

Amazing..

[@coreysmale]

SO. MUCH. POWER!

[@dragomarz]

@Lcrash200x I don'T know a lot about them so I kinda wondered if the BAss was only recorded. Asside it was a bit over tuned it sounded great ^^ The Bass that is

[@CullenX]

a duet with her and Thom Yorke would make my head explode.

[@elliottryankim]

yes me too!! something like vocal of passion pit or the strokes

[@lancebramsay]

How many drummers does it take to get down to bizness

[@joyusachoobarb]

This is ouuuutstanding.

[@PaulaHinvaitt]

wow!!!! applauses!

[@cutoffsandkeychains3]

Why isn't there a "Love" button? This is amazing!

[@sapomojado]

awesome, a gem in the rough

[@MrLexanderluther1986]

@Bimkovitz couldn't agree more..thank you

[@MrLexanderluther1986]

@Creeeeper420 ..what do you listen to sir?

[@fingerfry]

@imgaston are you trying to "save face"??? hahaha, hope you get the reference

[@Jhny909]

Wow didn't realize that's how the sound was made....NICE

[@powertripper888]

WEll done! Cheers!

[@babaG819]

@thetruekipster What do you listen to?

[@lucamartmatt]

AWSOME!

[@ZhangMichael]

[@djdapeda]

Now you know one thing thats right for sure.

[@monkeys55]

She is so coolllllll! And pretty...

[@ilovetube33]

fucking awesome.

[@CHADandTracyLoveYou]

Whaaaat, I didn't know Dwight from the office played drums in tune-yards! Cool fact.

[@wickerman1973]

This is very good indeed. The first time I heard tuneyards I thought of Captain Beefheart.

[@BAlva8]

@bassman31793 YESS!! That's what i was saying the whole time " How the hell did those two percussionist hold down ti and groove over that silent loop. jeez. So good, i wish i could work with her and learn how to arrange.

[@kollak01]

i love how the loop action leeds you into the song. awesome talent.

[@LilySoSo]

they are so badass

[@refugeechilla]

I love the song when i first heard this and saw the music video, but I have so much more respect and love for it after seeing this. Can not wait to see them tUnE yArDs live

[@Bimkovitz]

@BTSSIMON Her art gives her an attractiveness much deeper than the the superficiality of "good looks."

[@kir4yuki]

Zach Galifianakis sent me. I liked. :D

[@umno]

lol Zach Galifianakis sent me too! 2 thumbs up

[@audioleague]

sweet! how do i get a hold of you guys? where are you?

[@SomeSortOfBook]

i wasnt ready

[@thisisStreet]

That voice is insane.
