Onetime BTW and impressive Dirty Projectors opener tUne-YarDs, aka Merrill Garbus, signed up with 4AD, got remixed, and then released this video of her and her friends making funny faces and singing along (and then not singing along) to the reissued and expanded BiRd-BrAiNs bonus track “Real Live Flesh.” Pretty intense. The only real breaks you get from the mugging are a few shots of patterned fabric.

And, again, live “Real Live Flesh”:

BiRd-BrAiNs is out via 4AD. “Real Live Flesh” is being released as single backed by “Youth” on 2/8.

  6. That was crazy… and fun to watch!

    I just got the Bird Brains ep and really like her voice. Very good.

    I like the tune, and her live show was very impressive (caught her supporting Dirty Projectors last year), but the video is annoying alright!

    what a beastly ‘stache

  9. Loves me sum crazy chicks!

  10. Amazing indeed. Seriously, screw the Dirty Projectors and their pretentions Afropop ripoffs, especially when you see artists like Merill, weaving beautiful harmonies that sound like her music and not a ripoff of someone else’s.
