Due for release on May 6, 2014, the brilliantly playful Nikki Nack follows 2011's HUGELY successful W H O K I L L, an album that ended the year high on most Top Ten lists, even topping the highly prestigious Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll, based on votes from 700 of America's most notable music critics. tUnE-yArDs toured the world relentlessly and performed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live and ACL TV.
After affording herself a much needed break (she wrote a brilliant article for The Talkhouse on spending time in Haiti here), Merrill Garbus is back. In addition to confirming some new tour dates (listed below), she's also given her fans their first taste of new music with a 'Megamix' of the upcoming album; "I've put together a mash-up of a lot of the songs from the album, so you can get a tiny taste. We really can't wait to play this music for you. Thanks for all your support and patience while we cooked this chicken!," she said when posting it online earlier this morning.
Nikki Nack is out May 6 on 4AD. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERRILL!
