The video is great. Is there any way to get the mp3 link fixed? I can’t get it to load.

I find it extemely funny how I sometimes come across new music. As a ex-Brit Pat I often listen to online Gilles Peterson’s World Wide weekly show on Radio One during which Mos Def interview was being played. In between words of wisdom from Mr. Def “Hatari” was played which sounded so much like a song by “Goldwater” (I’m a member of) that I was instantly intrigued”What the F… was that?” (But in an amazingly good way). I later found out this lass well known in my new home backyard of Brooklyn. Now I’m off to Other Music store to cop the CD. Loving this lass!

Holy crap, Merrill. You floor me. you make me understand the wire of music is a conduit tapped in — what perfectly incidental sound design in the 1st video, and the dusk’s dark periwinkle light. good fucking job. sing on. sing on. sing on. Xx

I somewhat randomly discovered tUnE-yArDs about 3 days ago, and I am enthralled and blown away. The “Hatari” clip from this shoot was what I encountered, and I went from perplexed to fascinated to impressed to totally stunned over the course of the song. I immediately got her album and have watched everything else I can find online. WOW! What an original artist.

Personally, I LOVE the airplane and car sounds in the first song. They get louder and softer almost as though it was intentional. And she performs with unwavering conviction, unfazed. It adds a palpable sense of place and of reality to a powerful song.

Stupendous! Many thanks for creating and posting this. I am quite fond of the planes, myself…

aw, man. you know i was dying by the 3rd plane too as i was filming it, but then i grew to kinda like all the noise while i was editing. in any case, i let other websites pick a song for the mini-clip, though, and they seemed to pick “little tiger” a lot

but thanks for making it through to the last song! maybe you were bleeding to death and couldn’t hit the close button, but still, glad you made it to the end.

Great video, amazing music, but you posted the worst part of the entire 20-minute video for a mini-clip! I almost quit listening after the second plane came, then the 3rd made me slit my wrists. I’m dying as I type this. Hatari should’ve been the chosen one.
