pitchfork: Pitchfork.tv’s Primavera Sound festival coverage continues with this video of tUnE-yArDs’ Merrill Garbus performing an impromptu version of her song “Wooly Wolly Gong” in front of Gaudi’s famed Cathedral Sagrada Familia. 1) tUnE-yArDs…listen to this album. 2) This is haunting in the best way. 3) I am all about the ukulele right now.
