tUnE-yArDs

The label "experimental music" is often thrown around quite flippantly nowadays. Rightfully so; there are countless bands out there that make a unique style of music that's creative, innovative, original and, well, experimental. One such act is the Oakland, California based tUnE-yArDs. Helmed by Merrill Garbus, tUnE-yArDs makes a interesting blend of music that shifts genres from song to song. All of the compositions are fairly intricate and even though there is a slight lo-fi tinge to many of the tracks, there is a strong underlying current of adept musicianship running throughout the songs.
