In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of Nikki Nack, originally released in May 2014, Tune-Yards announced Nikki Nack 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, set to be released digitally on 9 August across streaming services. In addition, Tune-Yards have also unveiled a brand-new remix of the iconic indie anthem ‘Water Fountain’, ecstatically deconstructed by Brooklyn duo Water From Your Eyes. This danceable and utterly bonkers version reimagines the song as a dynamic, contemporary floor-filler, offering a thrilling new take that complements the original.
The Water From Your Eyes remix, cleverly entitled ‘Water From Your Fountain’, is one of four new tracks on the Nikki Nack 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition: the release also includes two original 2014 session singles, ‘Nobody/Anybody’ and ‘Rally’ as well as a new rendition of ‘Water Fountain’ from Tune-Yards themselves, entitled ‘Water Fountain (Your Eyes Remix)’.

In addition, fans can also pre-order copies of ‘Nikki Nack: Behind the Behind of the Album’, a 28-page zine that will be available a la carte on 4AD and Tune-Yards’ webstores, or as part of a discounted bundle with the 2014 red LP pressing of Nikki Nack via 4AD stores. This must-read collector’s piece tells the story of Nikki Nack in explosive technicolor, featuring behind-the-scenes photography, handwritten anecdotes, and scans of Merrill’s original lyric journals, bringing new insight to this classic record on its 10th anniversary. Designed by Molly Styslinger and Merrill Garbus, and based on Alex Chitty’s original artwork, it both reappraises and brings new perspective to the album, with the striking, singular visuals perfectly capturing the vibrance and movement of the original music.

Tune-Yards’ third LP Nikki Nack introduced “fizzing electronics and rapid-fire wordplay” [NME] into Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner’s growing musical canon, delivering a record brimming with adventurously maximalist soundscapes and forward-thinking, innovatively crafted lyricism unafraid to dig deep. 10 years later, the record continues to strike a chord with audiences, and with its Deluxe Edition, it is given a brand-new coat of paint.

‘Water From Your Fountain (Water From Your Eyes)’ Artwork
“A record that’s confrontational, boundary-bending, enigmatic, topical, and sheer fun outside the usual channels.”
– The Line of Best Fit
“Just as idiosyncratic but is even catchier and even bolder.”
– DIY
“It’s the force of Garbus’s personality that holds these clashing parts together, her blunt promise that “I’ve got something to say” – and her surprising sense of fun.”
– The Guardian
“The songs splatter unpredictably with little concern for cohesion, forming a whole that is emphatically unique.”
– NME
“Nikki Nack signifies maturity while still allowing room for Garbus to do zany things.”
– Pitchfork
