Artist:	TUNNG
Title:	Mother's Daughter and Other Songs
Label:	ACE FU
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	ACE 036CD

"Tunng's newest record was recorded in the dark basement of a women's clothing boutique in their native England. Singer Sam Genders and producer/writer Mike Lindsay actually began their musical careers by composing softcore porn soundtracks, but those days are far behind. Today, the duo (with the help of several additional background musicians) is writing lush, dark, and organic tracks that stun their audiences. Lindsay has described the band's songwriting as follows: 'I like to have different textures convey a feeling, create an atmosphere.' And that atmosphere has been well-received. Tunng has already garnered a plethora of enthusiastic reviews overseas and in the U.S. 'People Folk' lounges gently over a pagan beat, like the Beta Band lost in the Congo; 'Fair Doreen' melds scratchy electronica with a pastoral, quintessentially English dynamic; 'Out the Window With the Window' is a spooky semi-instrumental, perfect spot music for The Wickerman itself. North American license of Static Caravan release."

Title:	Comments of the Inner Chorus
Label:	FULL TIME HOBBY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	FTH 019CD

"Comments of the Inner Chorus is the second album from Tunng and was originally released in Europe in May 2006. Mixing pop, folk and electronica to come up with something twisted, yet gentle, singalong yet disjointed... Tunng have rapidly become one of the fresh faces of a new kind of British folk music. And they couldn't have timed the release of this, their second album better, coinciding as it does with the coming-into-being of a 'nu-folk' scene which appears to brush all their various talents with one stroke."

Title:	Good Arrows
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	THR 190CD

"Good Arrows is the third album from Tunng, the pastoral pop band behind the acclaimed Mother's Daughter and Other Songs and Comments Of The Inner Chorus. Taking its title from a favorite phrase of co-founder Sam Gender's brother, Good Arrows is a totally immersive record, enveloping the listener in Tunng's wyrd world. Their first album to be recorded in its entirety with the full, six-piece band (core duo Sam and Mike Lindsay handled the majority of the first two), there's a new depth of sound and power here, and a clutch of songs that'll get right under your skin. Taking influences from Icelandic prog rock, choral music and film soundtracks, Good Arrows marks a significant development for Tunng -- they've expanded beyond the awkwardly-applied folktronica label to become a fully fledged (if experimentally-skewed) pop band."
