tUnE-yArDs

A polyrhythmic explosion of vocal loops, distorted ukulele, and thick bass. Raw, soulful, and fiercely rhythmic art-pop that sounds like a one-woman riot.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, siren-like vocal wails that puncture the rhythmic tension in Gangsta.
The slow-burning transition in Powa where the intimate croon explodes into a staggering, soulful belt.
The interlocking, frantic saxophone lines that collide during the climax of Bizness.
