sketchy., Tune-Yards' fifth studio album, came out on 4AD on March 26, 2021, and it was hatched in the duo's own studio in Oakland, where Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner started writing it in 2019. This is the project that rode loop pedals, ukulele and lo-fi percussion all the way to the top of the Village Voice's Pazz and Jop poll with Whokill in 2011, and it still sounds twitchy, restless and wide awake.
"Nowhere, Man", the first new single in two years, nodded to the Beatles and came, Garbus said, from feeling squeezed to the brink and wondering how loudly she'd have to sing before anyone listened; she pitched it as fuel for people raising their voices for justice. "Hold Yourself" followed on the day the album was announced, and it's the song that made the countdowns.
