Like the Dirty Projectors?

I've posted about her before, but tUnE YArdS continues to captivate. I mean really, just wow. How much beautiful noise can one person make? Merrill Garbus alternates between delightfully ramshackle and beautifully melodic on her debut LP BiRd-BrAiNs. Sounding like a paired down Dirty Projectors on some tracks and a lo-fi Passion Pit on others, tUnE YArdS is a DIY masterpiece of everything that is right with hipster music right now, but without any veneer of pretension or expectation. The album is all about the love of music and rhythm. Oh the rhythm. So massive and primal that it approaches almost a hip-hop beat on some tracks. Ballin. Get this album and see what is right in the world of up and coming musicians. Perhaps it is too much to post, but I absolutely love all three of these tracks.
