A sonic adventure bursting with infectious beats, effervescent synths and echoing vocals, the remix is one of the new tracks that will appear on The Greeting Committee’s forthcoming Dandelion (Deluxe). Listen to “How Long?” (Tune-Yards Remix) HERE.   “When looking into someone to do a remix for this record, Tune-Yards was the immediate gravitation!” says Brandon Yangmi, guitarist for The Greeting Committee. “With their unabashed individualism and astounding musicianship, I was intrigued by how our two worlds would collide. Unsurprisingly, their interpretation immediately had that Tune-Yards’ ‘sensibility’ and was only taken further by Psymon Spine's mixing! As a fan, it was a surreal pleasure to work with them."   Tune-Yards continue to push boundaries with their latest album, sketchy., which NPR hailed as “Epic, weird and wild…alive is the perfect word to describe it.” Billboard declared the duo, composed of Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner, “as creatively vibrant and unpredictable as ever.” They supported the album with an extensive tour and a four-part web series, “sketchy.tv.”   The animated visualizer for “How Long?” (Tune-Yards Remix), which can be viewed HERE, was created by Singapore-based art director/illustrator Kezia Gabriella. Known for her vibrant imagery that abounds with abstract shapes and unusual characters, Gabriella co-directed the video for “Float Away,” one of the first singles from Dandelion.   On April 9, The Greeting Committee will conclude its Dandelion headline tour with a hometown show at Uptown Theater in Kansas City. Limited tickets are available HERE. The massive demand for tour tickets prompted the band to upgrade venues and add shows in many markets. They were met by sold-out crowds in cities across the U.S., including Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Denver.   “[The Greeting Committee] brought greetings of love and light to New York City, for a show that won’t be soon forgotten...the band’s relatable lyrics are given an entirely new meaning when performed live, as it is their chemistry and compatibility with each other that truly instilled the night with vivacity,” said office Magazine, which caught up with frontwoman Addie Sartino after the show for this Q&A.   Upon its release last fall, Atwood Magazine hailed Dandelion as “a blue-eyed record that showcases the band’s widening range: what once were vibrant chamber pop tunes that recall The Hush Sound have turned into buzzing, heavy rockers with a dose of ‘90s nostalgia.” FLAUNT said, “If you have yet to hear about The Greeting Committee, prepare to fall in love.” In addition to “How Long?” (Tune-Yards Remix), the deluxe edition of the album will also feature the poignant “Sort Of Stranger” feat. Briston Maroney. Further details will be announced soon.

About The Greeting Committee: Made up of Addie Sartino, Brandon Yangmi, and Pierce Turcotte, The Greeting Committee have embraced a spirit of purposeful sharing since their formation in 2014. Founded soon after Sartino and Yangmi got their start playing open-mic nights in Kansas City, the band self-released their debut EP It’s Not All That Bad in 2015. Its lead single “Hands Down” quickly became a breakout hit, paving the way for The Greeting Committee’s signing to Harvest Records when they were all still in high school. After making their Harvest debut with the Meeting People Is Easy EP in 2017 and releasing their debut album This Is It in 2018, the band spent much of the next few years on the road, with sold-out headline shows in major markets such as Chicago, Austin, New York, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. To date, they’ve toured with the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club, Tennis, Hippo Campus, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise and taken the stage at leading festivals like Lollapalooza and SXSW, in addition to delivering the I’m Afraid I’m Not Angry EP in late 2019 and appearing in Netflix’s To All the Boys: Always and Forever. The band’s second album Dandelion is out now via Harvest Records with a deluxe edition to follow soon.   About Tune-Yards Tune-Yards was formed by Merrill Garbus in 2006, and that band name has ever since been synonymous with forward movement—whether because of the group's explosive performance style, the always-surprising way in which their songs unfold, or the lines Merrill draws between music and social activism. Since then, Merrill, along with her partner Nate Brenner, have released five critically acclaimed albums on 4AD, travelled the world relentlessly to play live shows, and scored a handful of films, including Boots Riley's surrealist cinematic masterpiece Sorry To Bother You.
