Her live shows are, we believe, the stuff of legend, being completely and utterly amazing. So much so, she has tried to recreate her live vibe on record with her new release touring the world with a full band. http://www.4ad.com/tune-yards/http://www.myspace.com/tuneyardshttp://www.tune-yards.comlots of links from here >> http://drownedinsound.com/releases/14883/reviews/4138426We are currently awaiting confirmation of a tour support...

chilli Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 fresh off the press ref SXSWGlasser and Tune-Yards at SXSW 2011 - review | Culture | guardian.co.ukGlasser and Tune-Yards at SXSW 2011 - reviewHard to describe, outlandish and powerful - the music of Glasser and Tune-Yards leaves Tim Jonze scraping his jaw off the floorThere comes a time during everyone's SXSW trip when it all gets to be a bit too much. Your eyelids start to close, your belly rejects the 213th piece of fried chicken, and your brain threatens to go loco if it takes in another white 20-something in a plaid shirt discussing The King of Limbs. With this in mind, I probably wasn't well placed when my own personal crash came at the Pitchfork showcase surrounded by, well, you guessed it. It's testament, then, to the music at Central Presbyterian Church that the two shows I caught became my highlights of the whole week. Glasser - AKA LA's Cameron Mesirow - didn't so much stand at the altar as sway and pirouette there. On record, this music is hard to pin down, so much so that even party hosts Pitchfork struggled, settling for "tropical pop, tribal percussion, and a couple of different strains of electronic music." Her influences span the globe, but watching her deliver the finished product with such crystal clarity is enough to shake any knackered music hack out of a chicken-induced slumber.Another girl with a penchant for global pop is Tune-Yards but, again, this music - a combination of vocal loops, colliding polyrhythms, and traditional string strumming - feels like nothing but her own unique creation. Glance around the church and you can tell who hasn't caught the Merrill Garbus live experience before; their faces are awestruck.Garbus certainly has a charming presence on stage. "You deserve better than that," she says at one point after the giddy combination of rhythms she's constructed to open a song doesn't quite sync. These tiny errors help make the show - proving that this is a human, not a machine, at work. Another mistake occurs during the intro to My Country, the opening track on forthcoming album Whokill, but the song is such an exercise in dragging art out of cacophony - I especially like the skronking TV on the Radio-style horns - that you're left amazed she ever got it up and running at all. Perhaps the highlight of the whole thing was when Garbus falsettoed into such outlandish Minnie Riperton-esque territory that the crowd whooped and broke out into delirious rounds of applause. The audience played its part in the rhythm section too, as each song ended with a well-timed thud. This thud was the sound of a churchload of jaws hitting the floor. A truly religious experience.

offramp Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Delighted to confirm that support will come from Thousands (Bella Union)!Thousands is the name of Seattle duo Kristian Garrard and Luke Bergman whose beguiling debut album, The Sound Of Everything, is one of the gentlest, most tender records youll ever hear; just two entwined voices, exquisite acoustic guitar and a very occasional harmonium. Oh, and sounds from nature; bird calls, falling leaves, blowing wind and natural reverb are all present, underlining the organic creation of Thousands songs and their surreal, nature-focused lyrics.Thousands came to Bella Unions attention via Fleet Foxes guitarist Skye Skjelset, who is a friend of the pair, and the duo are both are long-standing members of Seattles heralded underground scene. When the bands initial home recordings didnt feel right, Kristian and Luke decided to travel around Oregon and Washington looking for interesting or inspiring places to record. To get away from the sterile sounds we were achieving at home, and to offer something with a real sense of place. We want people to listen to this with headphones on and feel like they're immersed in these locations, and there's us, sitting next to you, playing a song. The field recordings led them across the Pacific Northwest; to Luke's family's cabin on the Oregon coast, the banks of the Columbia River, abandoned barns and old farmhouses.At times the music of Thousands echoes Fleet Foxes hymnal beauty. But the overriding feel shares some of the hushed simplicity of Elliott Smith and Simon and Garfunkel, fused to the finger-picking dexterity of John Fahey and Bert Jansch. But dont let the simplest of acoustic formats hide the deep well of emotion inside. The Sound Of Everything is all about the human voice and heartbeat, the purity of sound, capturing a specific place at an exact moment; in other words, the sound of everything that matters.http://www.thousandsband.comhttp://www.bellaunion.com/index.php/site/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offramp Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 PumaJaw cannot now make the tUnE-yArDs show. Replacement to be announced soon. Apologies for any inconvenience.Chuffed that Foxhunting will now open the show... what a great line-up! Foxhunting, despite the name, doesn't actually partake in the killing of carnivorous vulpines. Instead, he's a teenage singer-songwriter from the barren north of Scotland, writing fresh and catchy (and often violent) folk-pop. He's in the middle of recording a second EP in his bedroom with a laptop. Foxhunting WOW-ed everyone at our Withered Hand gig in January - definitely one to watch on the local scene.http://huntingfox.es/http://www.facebook.com/fxhntng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
