Good Arrows, Tunng
A couple of years back, ‘folktronica' was the genre of the moment for many music journos, and no review of UK act Tunng and their debut album MOTHER'S DAUGHTERS & OTHER SONGS was complete without it. Now on to a third album, the core duo of Sam Genders and Mike Lindsay have evolved into a fully functioning six piece band. GOOD ARROWS is the act's first album recorded with their collective input.
The result, naturally, is a fuller sound as a variety of instruments from the harp to the hammer dulcimer (think weekend busker at Pitt Street Mall - you know the one) make an appearance. However, these instruments often navigate from the back seat, with thick vocal arrangements driving the songs and defining Tunng's sound far more so than the occasional electronic pulse, hum or glitch. Though ever-subtle, these tones still give us an excuse to wack that ‘tronica' tag on if they are looking for an easy way to end or open their review.
