Another teaser from the New England native’s third album.
After unveiling lead single ‘Water Fountain’, anti-pop pixie tUnE-yArDs has revealed another track from her forthcoming album on 4AD, Nikki Nack.
Eschewing the hyperactivity and playground vibe of the first single, ‘Wait For A Minute’ sees Merrill Garbus in more reflective mode, pairing Laurie Anderson-esque breathy coos with squelchy synth lines and a typically ambitious vocal arrangement.
As Garbus told FACT’s Chal Ravens in an interview last week, it’s “a song about addiction, which I’ve thought a lot about in the past year.”
Due on May 6, Nikki Nack is the follow-up to 2011’s uniquely brilliant whokill – check out a “megamix” sampler of the new album uploaded last month, which suggests an even bolder palette of sounds with added synth and electronics. Garbus will tour Europe and North America this summer, starting in Los Angeles on May 5.
