In an interview while on a tour stop in New York, Tune-Yards members Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner discussed their latest album, Better Dreaming, released in mid-May. This sixth full-length album follows critically acclaimed works like Whokill, which elevated them to prominence in the indie-rock scene. Garbus explained the significance of the album's title, which comes from a favorite track intended to deepen listener engagement. The band is set to support their album with local performances, indicating their ongoing commitment to live music.
Album titles are tricky. I mean, they have been for me. I think a lot of the record felt like it didn't want us to complicate it too much. Better Dreaming is one of my favorite songs we've ever worked on together. And it wasn't going to be a single. It's pretty down-tempo sad. So, (the album title) was a way of getting people to pay attention to that track more.
Thanks to Whokill, the Tune-Yards emerged from almost out of nowhere to become one of the more acclaimed new voices in indie-rock, and they remain one of the Bay Area's most consistently compelling indie acts.
