Check this band out: the tUnE-yArDs

the tUnE-yArDs (yes, that is how they type their name) are a fusion of just about every genre of music that you may heard or not heard of. New Englander Merill Garbus has been creating music for years under the moniker Tune-Yards. What is Tune-Yards? It's difficult to explain in mere words. It's a fusion of numerous genres and styles. Trust me, you gotta listen to "Gangsta". When you listen to it, it's both similar and unfamiliar. It's deja vu: I have heard this before but I can't put my finger on the song. Two and-a-half minutes into the song, the audio becomes distorted. One nanosecond you hear Garbus singing in the right side of the headphones (or stereo) and the lyric ends up on the left side. And vice-versa. As soon as "Gangsta" ended, I played it again. Tune-Yards will be performing at Lollapalooza this August. From the album w h o k i l l, available on tune-yards.com, iTunes and Spotify.

Here is "Gangsta"
