Tune-Yards release new EP, Tell the Future With Your Body, off the back of May’s Better Dreaming, which saw the duo deliver some of the grooviest music of their career so far. On this new EP, Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner expand on the loopy, homespun energy of their latest album with four more tracks of irresistible rhythms, basslines and melodies. The tracklisting offers three previously unheard songs from the Better Dreaming recording sessions, including dynamic new track ‘Sand Into Stone’.

On the new EP, Merrill shares, “‘I breathed on the people and the people started losing their minds.’ These songs came rolling off of our fingers and tongues right after Better Dreaming. With them, we match the overconfidence of backwards tyrannical overlords with the confidence of mid-career artists in the zone. May we release our cultural fear and grief with a breath of fire!”

After their US shows in September and October, Tune-Yards’ tour moves across the Atlantic in November, where they’ll perform songs from Better Dreaming for the first time in the UK and Europe, including a show at London’s Royal Festival Hall on 22 November. Tune-Yards have also just announced a new show in Istanbul, Turkey, on 2 December, tickets for which go on sale this Friday 19 September. Known for their captivating live performances – where layered rhythms, looping beats, and Garbus’ powerhouse vocals collide – these shows promise a versatile return to the stage.
