Tune-Yards is celebrating the release of their new album, 'Better Dreaming', with a live set and signing event. The album represents their reaction to societal challenges like distraction and heartbreak, viewed as a battle for artistic focus amid modern interruption. Merrill Garbus describes the experience of creating the album with partner Brenner, emphasizing the ease and organic nature of the songwriting process, which reflects their family life and the influence of their child. Musically, 'Better Dreaming' features vibrant pop and dance elements, calling for self-love, collective action, and dance floor liberation.
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.
Making art in this day and age for me is a battle for focus; we're in an age of interruption, says Merrill Garbus of Tune-Yards on sixth album Better Dreaming.
Better Dreaming is ferocious in its invocation of self-love, collective action, dance floor liberation, ego-death deliverance, and a future we could all thrive in.
Its songs came to Garbus and bandmate/partner Brenner with unusual ease, letting the songs come out, following any trail they wished.
