‘The Village’ is the brilliant, billowing new single from Tunng – from their forthcoming, fifth album, ‘Turbines’ released on June 17th on Full Time Hobby (www.fulltimehobby.co.uk)
Bands as individual and enduring as Tunng don’t come around too often. Across their decade together, the group have gone from newcomers, experimenting in the basement of a Soho’s women’s clothing boutique, to acclaimed sonic masters, expertly threading electronic influences with unhinged, off-piste pop.
A warm, sophisticated record, ‘Turbines’, is moving, addictive and impossible to categorise with its eclectic range of instrumentation and ideas combining to make something as unique as you’re likely to discover this year, or any year. It’s also a more nuanced, reflective and mature album which has uncovered a new power in the Tunng sound, already winning a well-deserved wider audience.
