Tune-Yards ‘You Yes You’ live for Yours Truly

In this clip filmed for the Yours Truly web series, Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner of Tune-Yards revisited the Oakland, California studio where they recorded their acclaimed new album WhoKill for a live performance of “You Yes You,” one of the record’s highlights. As with most performances by the duo, Garbus starts off the song by recording a percussion loop before launching into the tune. Once it gets going, she settles into the groove and delivers a vocal performance that is as spontaneous and passionate as it is considered and controlled.
