I never realized until this performance that she sings loud enough to be heard over two saxes. I've been playing music and sometimes singing for 25 years, there are very few songs I can sing that loud, and they're all 'scream'-y grunge, etc. tunes, and I'm a baritone/tenor man and LOUD. That's awesome. I bet she can't use some mics, that's wild. And her articulation and dynamics are AWESOME.
Her voice blows me away. I saw an interview with her where she talks about her voice training. The girl is LOUD!
The way she sets up that percussion at the start is mind-blowing ...
Definitely one of those people so used to looping and writing solo that they hear all the other parts in their head to play to first.
She could be a drummer some day.
She is a drummer.
Tuneyards are still so underrated, like in terms of experimenting with pop music I feel Merrill has done so many interesting things that's you just can't find other artists doing
its cuz its bad music most people are trying to sound good
prueba un mordisco de la música de Juana Molina

The word "amazing" is inadequate. What a set.
can NPR please invite her back again!
I'm sitting alone - and I actually applauded at the end of that.
I'm an old grunt - and I've only just discovered Tune yards - wow. Just wow.
This is genuinely wonderful stuff.
I applauded too!
Me too!
hurricane of applause !
***** It most certainly was not....
Yes, awesome. Maybe check out DVA, very similar approach and make style: ua-cam.com/video/XQ5TX5kAa9k/v-deo.html
god her voice is so unique i cant get enough of it
This holds up well because SHE'S A FuCKING GENIuS.
years go by but I just keep finding her, she touches my soul.
Always blows my mind to see that voice come from her, truly amazing.
This is like those people are messing around with whatever they have to make noise and turned out to be a great music. I like that so much.
that's what joy looks like
a blank face and no emotion?
Aaron Landau Watcha talkin bout Willis?!?
Nicolás García Lieberman
he barely smiles. Her face in the majority of this video is the definition of emotionless.
Aaron Landau wha?
time to bring back tUne-yArDs for another one. This band has only gotten more impressive in the last decade. Incredible musicians and songwriting!
Love them love her. Her voice is transformative. And their music / instrumentation is so beautiful. I am shocked they managed to recreate their song so well here. Makes me love them more.
Right? My brother and I were curious as we both like them and it’s so nice to see that they actually set everything up live
I'd rather not compare her to anyone. You hear the influences yet her style and approach is unique. Not to mention her sense of time and beat are impeccable.
Her voice makes my box a bit bigger. note: I'm a small man trapped in a box
LOL!
Ok I chuckled
Theres no sound out there like her heavenly voice and that amazing band. This is truly a blessing of a performance and one that haunts and sticks in your mind after. Thank you NPR in 2020 we need brilliant, original, and beautiful music like this.
Wow.... Utterly Wow.... Been awhile since a simple musical performance has left me speechless. Complex simplicity... Beautiful!!
This is incredible, absolutely hooked right from the start. I'm incredibly grateful to NPR Tiny Desk Concerts for introducing me over the past week to Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Lucius, K'Naan and now tUneyArDs. How much insanely good new music can one man take in one week. Inspiring.
My, her voice: Special. It's rhythmic and melodic, which is rare. She sounds like Roberta Flack, with that thick, high pitched bottom and soaring top.
Excellent music and refreshing sound! Thank you 'Tune-Yards" and continue to do what you are 'gifted' to do!
that is magical soul healing music, past lifetimes n' shit
HALLELUJAH❤
i could watch "doorstep" everyday i think. its just perfect. such musicianship but so laid back
ohmygawd. ages later & still my favourite.
this tune forever!!! "if home is where the heart is baby, my home is inside you..'
One of the best Tiny Desk performances I have seen to date. Just straight awesome!
Merrill Garbus' work is perfect. Fight me. 😍
She is powerful!!!!
This band is great and Merrill Garbus is a real artist. She shared this music with me and expanded my tastes in music, tastes that I never knew I had. It's like she knows me better than I know myself. She has inspired me. Maybe the world is worth engaging.
I think most people are so used to their preferred genre of music, whether it be Pop, Rock, Rap, Jazz, Country, etc, that you can't be open minded to something different. I don't like all styles of music but I respect artists like this who can create something unique. I love this band, and hope they keep making more music. It's refreshing to here something different.
she’s able to juggle all ten wheels turning in her head at one time, meanwhile it’s usually all i can do to barely get my one wheel moving at all
its easy when ur music sucks
Just beyond brilliant.
Full of fun and playful rhythms and breaks, beautiful powerful lyrics from our Merrill. Sings with passion.
She belts it out. What a voice
I'd like to see them live
god damn shes good at using that loop pedal!! for anyone who's ever tried its not easy to get the timing right. and if you mess up once you have to start all over.
i think merrill has created some of the most original music in a long time.
Still love this set with a passion
So it has been 10 years since this video came out and even though I'm a huge fan of tiny desk, and I love how far they've reached, I still believe this is the best concert of all. I love tUne-yarDs and thanks to this video I discovered their wonderful work. Thanks for this, tiny desk and npr music. Hope we could see tUne-yarDs again in one of your new videos!
Mmmh best Tiny Desk Concert has to be one of the toughest things to achieve in the music business! So many incredible performances. I dont know, my vote probably goes to Tedeschi Trucks Band, their set is breathtaking imo
I enjoyed this so much. I couldn't help but start tapping my feet and moving my shoulders to the music haha. I used to be one of those people who would always say that music nowadays is pure shit, when in reality you just have to look a little harder and not search Top 40 stations. I've discovered so many amazing bands and artists through the Tiny Desk and KEXP performances... Finding new, good music is so refreshing 😊
Bring them back!!! I saw a live recording from a couple of months ago and they only sound richer and more developed with age and experience!
I cannot stop coming here - she - they - are awesome!
This song makes me want to hug my Mom and thank her for helping me cultivate a good taste in music. This is such a beautiful performance!
I love her and her uniqueness!
Thanks to Jacob, This is dope. 🔥
She's so amazing!!
Simply wonderful.
Their creativity hits my soul just right, it’s incredible what four people can do w/ the right talent.
I agree it's essentially African music (what isn't, in pop & rock & jazz?). But if you dismiss because of the colour of her skin then you're missing out on what this sparkling soul is offering us.
God, where has this group been all my life...amazing...
The group is sick! Last song is so awesome!
She is fabulous from start to end... full of great joy perfect timing, innovative, joyful, so many wonderful subtle tiny parts and she pulls it all together....Im in awe....:-0
she's AMAZING
Pandora introduced me to 'my country' awhile back and I fell in looovvee with this band. So amazing to see that their genius is only amplified live. So many layers of melodic goodness upon which my ears may feast.
wow, so lucky I found this, just great arranging and badass musicians!
It is the music reporters desks at NPR headquarters in DC
Wow. It's not very often that I get my socks knocked off at a TDC. Way above average, this. Keep on truckin' yArDs.
the ear on this woman. magnificent!
Wow her voice is incredible. What a refreshing sound.
Wowza, sounds like a little girl one moment, James Brown the next. So funky, funky. She's got it!
Fabulous grooves, and refreshing musical thinking "outside the box" so to speak. There's talent and then...there are the supertalents. This band has got it all goin' on..
still can't stop listening it.
she is too adorable
My goodness, This is beautiful.
That chick has awesome layering skills. There's a resemblance to Bjork's musical style, but at a much hyper and spastic pace.

Merrill is amazing and awe-inspiring.
you are so right.
Amazing still.
Yes.
Absolutely awesome talent. Could listen all night long and longer...
This is by far the best Tiny Desk Concert.
Fantastic. Boombasstic
Merrill Garbus is my hero. Great music, inspiring.
Can I "Thumbs-Up" this every time I listen.... Please?
I'll bet this is fabulous live (this is close). I'm amazed how creativity in making music is just endless. This is full of great energy and I'd like to hear her voice in a number of songs to appreciate it's obvious tone and power. What fun this is.
Everything about this is purrrrfect.
ChatGPT recommended this band to me based on my love for Rubblebucket and a few others. I’ve heard a couple of their songs before, but wow, still very impressive. The last song is magnificent.
Think about that, a freaking AI robot told you to look up something and you did. No, there's no danger in that at all...
@@Trea-pl4xr Hey man, it’s best to get on the good side of the future AI overlords before they actually take over.
Thank you for sharing your uniqueness with us. Be yourself.
Today I discovered the tUnE-yArDs......let me rephrase that, Today I fell in love with the tUnE-yArDs! she is fantastic
This is so good. No more to say.
She is ridiculously talented. Love Merrill.
Saw these guys live a few months back at the Summer Sundae festival and they were the standout band of the weekend for me.
i like when intelligent people do interesting things.
yeah man the manhattan project was great
helped the U.S. maintain back to back world war championship wins.
I due to 🤓🥸
Is that what this was? I came from watching the Black Pumas. that was some intelligent people doing interesting things. This is a hard-to-watch mess. Disordered music has it's place but this is isn't it. Her voice is amazing. it's a shame it's hidden in this hooting cacophony.
They're intelligent be....cause they're at...npr ?
A few years back, Stewart Copeland (police fame) pack his gear and recorder and went to Africa in search of unique sounds for inspiration for his next album. The Lp starts off with a sample of one of the tribes he met. All I can say it was powerful to hear the complex rhythms built into the harmonies. Then he proceeded to make songs supposedly built on what he witnessed. My opinion is he missed the mark in trying too heavily to westernize what he witnessed. Garbus in tuneyards I think nails many of these ideas with her multi layering of her voice and simple rhythms and yet brings a modern multistyle mashing. Very creative
I favorited this and hit thumbs before I hit play. I am immoral like that.
one of the best around here...
happiness.
I feel Africa in this music
Yeah, this is one of my favorite TDCs. I listen to it pretty much every week. Good stuff.
I can not like this enough. They are fantastic!
These dudes ROCK!!!!!!!!
I love Merril Garbus too much
Pretty stoked to see these guys along with David Byrne tonight!
Beyond crazy!! But ever so coool!
This is great! 🎉
I'll answer the kid's questions. Yes, she who sings in this video is a woman, and yes, she is (in a way) trying to be black, as all of us who work in music have been trying to be since at least the 1920s, whether consciously or not. I dunno, it's a mixture of influences, but pop music wouldn't be jack without the black influence.
Saxophones sound nice. Rebellious harmony. For a free bassless mix, just neglect to use headphones.
Black like Mali: Ali Farka Toure or Oumou Sangaré
Growing up outside of woodstock NY I grew up with a ton of musicians who shared similar idea s of creation. She kills shit dead!!!! Came to this through NPR and had never even heard of them....
Is she singing LIVE? How is this humanly possible? She's got VOLUME
Check out the Tiny Desk Concert that Buika did if you like powerful voices. :)
Merrill can really project her voice. If you've never listened to her earlier projects, you should. I have a full album on my channel of her when she was with the band Sister Suvi. The song 'Golden' is a great example of the power of her voice. She has some crazy powerful parts in that song.
So much passion and happiness :D
In addition to sounding amazing they can also jump in place really well.
Perfection👏😊👏
Utterly joyous
This was just...absolutely wonderful
