SOUNDS LIKE: An angry yodeler with mad crazy beats.
WHY/WHY NOT: It's like nothing you have ever heard before and in all its weirdness it's actually super catchy. According to this one-woman wonder's MySpace, the new album, Bird-Brains, was (believe it or not) recorded, "through a Sony digital recorder and tracked in Audacity."
The very first track on the album has a kid talking about how blueberries are "cool" and "fresh", which is a good indication of what the rest of the album is. It's lo-fi sound with a hi-fi game. And, since this is a pay-what-you-want downloadable album on the Tune-Yards' website, you've got nothing to lose.
