I've just listened to WHOKILL, not overly blown away, it isnt melodic enough for me never seems to flow enough. Just a personal call though.

WhoKill is very good. I'd say it's my favourite album of 2011 so far.

It made me go out and look at Tune-Yard because I was curious where the hell this album came from. This Merrill Garbus is a very interesting person.

Every time I see the band name typed out in UpEr and LoWeR case letters I read it as "turds".

Yeh I dislike when bands have their names like that. It really annoys me how it looks on th IPod screen!

I just write it out normally as Tune-Yards. Then it doesn't bother me. But otherwise it would and I wouldn't let it on my computer...

It's interesting to hear that complaint about it because I'd say the vocal melodies are my favorite thing about the album.

So I was watching Austin City Limits a week or so ago and after a typical Edward Sharpe et al performance, on came this group. Holy hell! I wanted to hate them, and I'm sure many will. But I love them.

This chic creates loops with a snare drum, other various percussion, and a ukelele, among other instruments. Her voice is interesting and there is a sax section. I think they would be awesome live.

Anyone else listen to the Tune Yards? Or care to offer any opinions? They have two albums out. I haven't really given either a listen, just excited about the two songs below I've heard:
