The Story
British prog-folk with Lindsay dotting Genders' furry, monochromatic vocals with electronic irregularities, samples and stylistic flourishes.
Coming of age at a time when electronic and folk music were increasingly assimilating, Tunng's Mike Lindsay and Sam Genders-- like predecessors Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong of the Books-- took an opposite tack, creating acoustic/electric folk that prided itself on showing its seams. It was hard to tell in which direction Tunng would head after the well-received Comments of the Inner Chorus, but as their third record Good Arrows shows, the band never fully embraced the Dadaist aesthetic they started with. Instead, they've proceeded fully toward the British prog-folk idiom that was always a staple of their sound, with Lindsay dotting Genders' furry, monochromatic vocals with electronic irregularities, samples and stylistic flourishes.
