April 18th in NZ marks the release of the second album from Merrill Garbus’ tUnE-yArDs. Entitled w h o k i l l, the album was recorded shortly after Garbus transplanted herself from Montreal to sunny Oakland, California having extensively toured debut album BiRd-BrAiNs through 2009 and 2010. Produced by Garbus herself and working with engineer Eli Crews, they show theres no substitute for a good microphone, and the sonic nuances that can only be achieved through masterful recording techniques can be heard in each drumbeat and vocal line.
Preceding the release of the album, the track Bizness has been made available as a free MP3. Download from 4AD.com here.
