Tune Yards – Find a New Way
Me? Fan. Off beat track. Percussion of great importance. Unexpected vocal quirks. Cadence. “Trip on the truth” – a danger. “A right to scream.” Applause.
Kansas – It Takes a Woman’s Love (To Make a Man)
Perhaps a bit thin lyrically, but this one swings. Miss the signature violin a bit, but the sax, piano and guitar bits weave a rich tapestry.
“It Take a Woman’s Love …”/Kansas. The group showing a lot more R&B influence than I’m used to hearing from them, especially in that sax solo. Their guitar-boogie leanings to the fore. Fun little tune.

This song feels like it could be something performed as part of a Broadway musical. The clavichord and big bass during intro is an interesting combo. The voices interplay in very cool ways. Bass and drum work with the voices in a most excellent way.

A recall a friend of mine submitting this album as one of his top 10 albums (#3 I think). I can see why. Love the impassioned harmonies, sax/horns and that grand finale outro. Surprised this came in around 3 minutes. I was expecting something more prog rock length. Fun tune.
Tuneyards- I remember when I firsts heard these folks a bunch of years ago and thought that they were doing something REALLY new and creative. This is certainly in that realm. I like that they are playing with the conventions of the ‘song’. There is definitely rhythm and melody though in an interesting and unconventional way. These kinds of songs make me wonder if they were buit with some a priori idea or started with a recorded kernal that just went…somewhere. The rhythm part definitely could have been that base. I haven’t really been able to make out the lyrics so this song could be about Cheetos or the constrution of the first railroad in Panama.
Kansas- Ah, that distinctive organ sound. This has many of the Kansas elements that are delectable including the great lead guitar and wonderful vocals., though less of the powerful percussion in their later work. The horns are cool here. The lyrics….well, you can’t have everything. It was the 70’s!

I delightedly replay both of these tunes.
