So I was watching Austin City Limits a week or so ago and after a typical Edward Sharpe et al performance, on came this group. Holy hell! I wanted to hate them, and I'm sure many will. But I love them.

This chic creates loops with a snare drum, other various percussion, and a ukelele, among other instruments. Her voice is interesting and there is a sax section. I think they would be awesome live.

Anyone else listen to the Tune Yards? Or care to offer any opinions? They have two albums out. I haven't really given either a listen, just excited about the two songs below I've heard:

Yeah, she's great! I haven't heard the first album, but I love the second album. It's like a deconstruction of afro-pop.

Thanks for moving my post. My searches are always ineffective. :/

Afro-pop is my favorite sound, so it's no surprise I've latched onto this. I downloaded WHOKILL earlier today; going to give it a proper listen this week. I look forward to it.
