Tune-Yards (previously styled as tUnE-yArDs) are releasing a new album, I can feel you creep into my private life, on January 19, 2018 via 4AD. Previously they shared a video for its first single, “Look at Your Hands.” Now they have shared another new song, “ABC 123,” via its video. The curiously named Dear Mr Quistgaard directed the clip, which features the head of frontwoman Merrill Garbus stuck in weird places in a factory. Although the song was written a while ago, the lyrics are quite topical in the context of the wildfires currently raging near Los Angeles: “California’s burning down/Sitting in the middle of the sixth extinction.” Watch it below.

Tune-Yards was previously mainly the project of Merrill Garbus, but with I can feel you creep into my private life the band becomes a duo, with longtime collaborator Nate Brenner officially becoming a member. Brenner produced and wrote the album together with lyrics by Garbus. Mikaelin “Blue” BlueSpruce (Solange, Kendrick Lamar) mixed the album, which was mainly recorded at Tiny Telephone Oakland, in Oakland, CA and mastered in Harlem, NY by Dave Kutch (Solange, Jay-Z, Chance the Rapper). The album is the follow-up to 2014’s Nikki Nack.
