Last night, Tune-Yards have gave a buoyant performance of their latest single ‘hold yourself.’ on US TV show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The duo of Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner were joined by longtime drummer Hamir Atwal as well as a saxophonist and singers in the brightly chromatic setting that could be pulled directly from a child’s imagination.
Beneath the layered sounds of ‘hold yourself.’ lies a clear-eyed moment of grief and simmering rage that builds from the song’s calming introduction to its explosive culmination. ‘hold yourself.’ is taken from Tune-Yards’ upcoming album, sketchy., which will be released on 26 March.Watch the performance of ‘hold yourself.’ here or via the player below.

‘hold yourself.’ Live on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Unlike the lyrical introspection of Tune-Yards’ last release, I can feel you creep into my private life, on sketchy. Merrill balances self-inspection and reflection with bombastic rallying cries, reminiscent of the furious tones of early days Tune-Yards. The result is a colorful and joyous record with lyrics that cut to the bone. “I started remembering that people come to us to be entertained, to move, to feel joy. And together, I think, we can wake up.”
