Tune-Yard’s latest body of work was released in 2021. Well, the “Lime” musicians’ long anticipated follow-up to Better Dreaming is on the way. “Making art in this day and age for me is a battle for focus,” said Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus in a statement. “We’re in an age of interruption.”
The duo’s forthcoming album, Better Dreaming, is sure to be that disruption. Lead singles “Limelight” and “How Big Is The Rainbow” serve as striking examples of their sonic mission.
Better Dreaming is described by Tune-Yards as “a ferocious in its invocation of self-love, collective action, dance floor liberation, ego-death deliverance, and a future we could all thrive in.”
