Tune-Yards have shared a new single. “nowhere, man”—a reference to the Beatles song of a similar name—arrives with a new video featuring Charlie Chapin-inspired footage of Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner. There’s also stop-motion animation from Japhy Riddle and Callie Day. Watch the video below.
“The song and the video for ‘nowhere, man’ were created under conditions of feeling squeezed and pushed to the brink—relatively, of course,” Garbus said in a statement. “I wanted to ask, ‘How loudly do I have to shout and sing before I’m heard?’ And the video asks, too, ‘What am I not hearing?’ We hope the music brings energy and a strong wind of encouragement to those who are shouting and singing loudly for justice right now.”
Tune-Yards’ last album was 2018’s I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life. They released the score to the Boots Riley film Sorry to Bother You last year.
