To listen to the first two albums by tUnE-yArDs, an Oakland-based experimental indie-pop project, is to hear the work of essentially two different bands.
On 2009’s BiRd BrAiNs, tUnE-yArDs mastermind Merrill Garbus pieced together curiously addictive pop songs with little more than ukulele, found sound and random bits of percussion, bringing it all together with her commanding, versatile vocals. Garbus recorded the album in her bedroom with the help of a digital voice recorder, revealing that logistical limitations provide no impediment to creativity. But she took an entirely different approach for her second album, w h o k i l l, released in April.
Recorded in a professional studio with a full band, w h o k i l l features full band arrangements and more exclamatory statements. Working with a bassist and saxophone players, Garbus plumbs elements of funk, folk, Afrobeat, jazz and R&B to create one of the most unusual indie-pop albums of the year.
Arriving at the idea to make a bigger and bolder album took a little bit of trial and error.
“I began with some stripped-down demos, first of ‘Bizness,’” Garbus says in an email interview, referring to the album’s propulsive lead single. “And I was definitely disappointed by them. … The songs seemed to need more space to live in. … I wish the initial vision had been clearer, but the whole process of making the album was really going in small baby steps to see what the songs were calling for.”
Before recording w h o k i l l, Garbus relocated from Massachusetts to Oakland to be closer to bassist Nate Brenner, who co-wrote four of the album’s songs. While she views the move as positive, living in a city with one of the highest violent-crimes rate in the United States has also affected her art in a different way.
“It’s completely different to live in California; I’m healthier, I get outside more, my moods are better,” she says. “I think there’s this joyful, dancey quality to the music that might not have been there in such an overarching way if the sun hadn’t been in my eyes the whole time. But Oakland also has some tough realities, and the darkness of the lyrics was certainly influenced by that city.

But when I'm writing lyrics, I try to be as intuitive as possible and not think too much about what I want the song to be 'about,' but instead let the words flow from some kind of instinctual place.” The defining element of Garbus' music is her

Call it Jeff Buckley syndrome, but there's been far too much of the 'angelic falsetto' in pop for the last 15 years or so – you can't swing a Limited Edition Digipak without hitting a would-be Thom Yorke aching to show you just how very painful it is

Marissa Bregman - Love You Too Much Lyrics
What if I told you that I loved you too much
To ever be happy with you
What if I say that there's just no way
If we fall in love then we're through
'Cause I know that you've heard
Those "let's just be friends" words
And I hate to be a cliché
And I know that you know
The way that these things go
Love just gets in the way
What if I told you that I dream about you
Every time my eyes close
What if I say that my heart doesn't doubt you
It's something that my mind just knows
'Cause I know that you've heard...
Those "let's just be friends" words
And I hate to be a cliché
And I know that you know
The way that these things go
Love just gets in the way
And I don't wanna lose you
I'm not sayin' that this is goodbye
I'm just tryin' to tell you
I'm tryin' not to cry
There's something in your eyes that just kills me
I know that you will be ok, but anyway, look...
I love you too much
To ever lie to you
I love you too much... to love you
What if I told you that I loved you too much
To ever be happy with you
What if I say that there's just no way
If we fall in love then we're through
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
Oh, I love you too much
I know that you know
The way that these things go
Oh, I love you too much.
