<p>Our friend James rejoins us to talk about one of his favorites, 2011's w h o k i l l by tUnE-yArDs. Merrill Garbus has a whole lot of her personal politics come out in the lyrics of this album...moreso than any of us remembered. Some of it works, some of it is going in our cringe compilation.</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/davvves" rel="nofollow">David</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/mattgcn" rel="nofollow">Matt</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/jcjaguar" rel="nofollow">James</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/tuningforkcast" rel="nofollow">Tuning Fork</a></p>
