tUnE-yArDs have announced a new album, their fourth overall and follow-up to 2014’s Nikki Nack. The upcoming release is entitled, I can feel you creep into my private life, and it’s scheduled to arrive January 19th via 4AD.

Frontwoman Merrill Garbus wrote the 12-track collection, which was produced by longtime collaborator and newly official member, Nate Brenner. As a preview to the album, the duo has shared a teaser track called “Look at Your Hands”. It’s a fun, effervescent tune with 80s synth and a funky bass.

“Yes, the world is a mess, but I’ve been attempting to look more and more inward: how do all of these ‘isms’ that we live in manifest in me, in my daily activities, interactions?” Garbus said about the song in a press statement. “Some of the ’80s throwback production came from wanting the vocals to sound robotic, maybe to counter the sincerity of the lyrics. I started sampling my vocals with an MPC which I’ve wanted to do for years, and there was something that felt really right about my voice being trapped in a machine.”

Listen to it below. tUnE-yArDs are also listed as a collaborator on Cut Chemist’s first album in 12 years.
