We last heard from Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner, aka Tune-Yards in 2023, when they soundtracked Boots Riley's incredible show I'm A Virgo. Now, just in time to remind us that fun and joy can still exist while still being thoughtful and aware in a wild world, the pair have announced a brand new album - Better Dreaming! - Flying Out

The songs of Better Dreaming came to Garbus and Brenner with unusual ease. They asked themselves what would happen if they simply let the songs come out, following any trail they wished - first thought, best thought style. There was a strong desire to move, to make music that would enter the ear and immediately loosen up the joints, get the whole body wiggling. After covid-isolation, and time away from touring and live shows, the desire to be moved by music was undeniable. The insane experience of growing an actual human being influenced this as well. Garbus and Brenner’s 3-year-old can be heard singing on “Limelight”. The song was born from dancing together as a family to George Clinton. The kid liked the demo so much that whenever Garbus and Brenner tried to push the track forward with a new version or edit, he would demand the first version. Thus the infectious, effortless original groove stayed true
