Throughout their 15-year career, Tunng have always favoured quality over quantity. The proof lies in their six unique folktronica albums, mixing classical instruments with stranger musical objects. Sam Genders, who left the group in 2007, was missed on the album ...And Then We Saw Land, though aside from this little blip, Tunng’s albums are always met with sparkling eyes and gaping mouths from their audience. Five years after Turbines, Genders has returned to the group for Songs You Make At Night, an album that allows you to dream. Right from the beginning, synthetic sounds wrap themselves around Lindsay’s voice, often joined by that of Becky Jacobs on Dream In. A Kavinsky-like beat is gradually revealed and you are drawn into their fascinating world. Left feeling paralyzed and hypnotised, the second track ABOP acts as a sort of cosmic gateway to the universe of Tunng. With their mix of electro and soft folk melodies, influenced by artists from the 80s and sailing on a charming lyricism (such as on Like Water), Tunng seem timeless. Songs You Make At Night is an undeniable triumph, managing to both energise the listener as well as lulling them into a kind of trance. © Anna Coluthe/Qobuz
