TuneYards - I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life
Review by Chantie Coryell
TuneYards' latest album, I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life, is a bold exploration of themes such as race, identity, and cultural appropriation. The duo, comprised of Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner, creates a sonic landscape that is both complex and accessible, blending elements of pop, R&B, and world music.
The album's opening track, "Heart Attack," immediately sets the tone with its urgent beats and Garbus' powerful vocals. The song's lyrics, which address the anxiety and guilt of being a white artist working with African rhythms, set the stage for the rest of the album's introspective journey.
Tracks like "ABC 123" and "Coast to Coast" showcase TuneYards' ability to craft infectious hooks and danceable rhythms, while also tackling weightier subjects like gentrification and environmentalism. Meanwhile, songs like "Colonizer" and "Home" delve deeper into the complexities of race and privilege, with Garbus' lyrics delivering biting commentary on cultural appropriation and the legacy of colonialism.

Atop this hill so I can see
My skin boils red and scabs and stings
But I must be witness to everything
Fan the fire or face the crowd
California's burning down
Sitting in the middle of the sixth extinction
Silently suggesting the investment in a generator
I called you up because I thought you'd see it my way
I looked for freedom and I found it on the highway
No other option so I'm peeling out the driveway
Sing those brand new ABCs

I want so badly to be liked
I ask myself, "Why was I nice?"
I ask myself, "What should I do?"
But all I know is white centrality
My country served me horror coke
My natural freedom up in smoke
My pre-polluted fetus lead us
Into the obscene, I mean
I'm on a desert island and I ate up all the coral
I was so hungry but I know that isn't normal, oh no
But my behavior isn't anything but moral
So unhappy, ABC!
I called you up because we had a great connection
You couldn't hear me 'cause of NSA protection
But we'll unite before the very next election
No abstentions, vote the ABCs!
ABCDEFG
I called you up because I'd like to see it your way
The bridge between us is behind a different doorway
Thought I was looking but I don't know what to see
Living in a new reality
A desert island and I ate up all the coral
I was so hungry but I know that isn't normal
But my behavior isn't anything but moral
