27/05/11 tUne-YarDs: W H O K I L L
An eclectic mix of indie rock, layered vocal loops, and an occasional jazzy fretless-bass, there’s a lot more to W H O K I L L than the strange capitalization and spacing lets on. Though the band’s name implies multiple members, it is actually the solo project of Merrill Garbus, who released her first album under the tUne-YarDs moniker in 2009. Though W H O K I L L was not the easiest album for me to break into, after a few listens, the infectious hooks which drive Garbus’ otherwise fairly experimental and low-tech subversion of traditional pop music help the listener work their way deeper into this truly unique and diverse album. I would highly recommend this album to fans of Dirty Projectors or anyone looking to expand their definition of lo-fi. – B. Orwin
