Sketchy

Sketchy (stylized as sketchy.) is the fifth studio album by American indie pop band Tune-Yards. It was released on March 26, 2021, through 4AD. Background Writing for the album began in 2019, in the band's own studio in Oakland, California. Release and promotion Tune-Yards announced on January 27, 2021 they were releasing their fifth studio album on March 26, 2021. Singles On September 22, 2020, Tune-Yards released "Nowhere, Man", the first single in two years. The single is a reference to The Beatles' 1965 song Nowhere Man. Lead vocalist Merrill Garbus said of the single: "The song and the video for "nowhere, man" were created under conditions of feeling squeezed and pushed to the brink - relatively, of course. 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."
