‘Behind the Behind of the Album’ is a stunning 28 page zine telling the story of ‘Nikki Nack’, in explosive technicolor. Featuring behind-the-scenes photography, handwritten anecdotes, and scans of Merrill's original lyric journals, this collector’s piece brings 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 album nikki nack sees her enlist producers to help her achieve new heights. Contributions from Malay (Frank Ocean, Alicia Keys, Big Boi) and John Hill (Rihanna, Shakira, M.I.A.) enhance tUnE-yArDs’ signature sound.
A record that could only have been made by its creator, at heart it’s heavy yet still retains a sense of fun. Experimentation is still key for tUnE-yArDs. Where the loop pedal and the saxophone were main components of the fi rst and second record respectively, it’s the drum that takes center stage here, augmented by greater use of synth and Nate’s growing prowess as a bassist.
With it’s its jump-rope-chant title, the brilliantly playful nikki nack continues the tUnE-yArDs story gloriously.
