Go Ahead!


Info By Face Culture:

The duo of singer Sam Genders and producer Mike Lindsay have created one of the year’s finest releases so far. Otherworldly and enchanting, the hastily applied ‘folktronica’ tag doesn’t do justice to the dark beauty of Mother’s Daughter, which bridges the gap between traditional folk and ambient soundscapes. Cloaked in darkness, it has a broad scope that allows for acoustic finger-picking and skittering beats, updating folk for the glitch-pop generation. Revealing new treasures with each listen, this is a densely layered record and a potent amalgam of styles, old and new. Comparisons with Four Tet and Adem seem redundant, although Tunng are similarly successful in digitally updating gentle folk – perhaps the best point of reference is the hypnotic folk-hop of the Beta Band’s early EPs. Mother’s Daughter sounds strikingly original, and its skewed leanings have much to offer for willing ears. There really is no excuse for not owning this.

Sam Genders of Tunng doesn't like performing, so FaceCulture spoke to Mike Lindsay and two members from the live band of Tunng just before their gig in Paradiso in Amsterdam on July 3. Mike Lindsay told us all about the past, present and future of Tunng. He shed a deeper light on his working relationship with Sam, their debut album mother's daughter and other songs, their tiny studio in London, writings songs, Sam's lyrics, the new members of Tunng and lots more!
