Tune-Yards - 'I can feel you creep into my private life'

8/10

After blowing us away with their exciting and explosive 2014 album 'Nikki Nack', the now official duo of Tune-Yards have returned to release their fourth studio album 'I can feel you creep into my private life'. And while their previous releases have seen them play around with percussion and an experimental edge, this new release sees them as a far more focused outfit, creating a consistent theme throughout the whole full-length.

It seems that refinement is the aim of the game on this new record. Once we hear the opening track 'Heart Attack', the album very rarely strays from its initial direction, and instead becomes a swelling and fluid collection of tracks that complement each other perfectly. With a consistently strong identity and focus on the pop dynamic of their music, 'I can feel you creep into my private life' shows itself as an incredibly competent release with a true ambition at its heart.

It may have been hard for them to follow such a groundbreaking record for us, but this one seems to want its own path rather than lie in 'Nikki Nack's shadow. It is bold, ambitious and takes us someone different to before, a rare quality in musicians this far into their career.
