tUnE-yArDs - Bizness
so…
this is a cool song and a cool video and Tune Yards (excuse me… ahem… “69.XxX.tUnE-yArDs.XxX.69”) is super cool band and yadda yadda yadda.
but…
what REALLY interests me is that i just realized that they are signed to 4AD. on its face that might not sound particularly fascinating but let’s take a little gander at 4AD’s current label line up and see if anything anomalous shows up.
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti Atlas Sound The Big Pink Blonde Redhead Bon Iver Broken Records Camera Obscura Deerhunter Department of Eagles Efterklang Gang Gang Dance Inc.
Iron & Wine Joker The National St. Vincent Stornoway tUnE-yArDs Twin Shadow (Terrible Records in US) Scott Walker Zomby i’ve bolded the artists that really put the jalapeno in my musical salsa.
sweet sassy molassy that is a hell of a line up.
what the fuck do these guys put in the coffee at their office? are their A&R men made of charisma, charm and cocaine? how on earth does one little British indie label get SO MUCH FUCKING GREAT TALENT?
