TUNNG

Turbines

2013-10-11

Six people, multiple instruments and multiple voices. That's what you get on Turbines, the fifth release from British band Tunng. This folk band offers boy/girl multi-tracked vocals, guitar, keys, and beat programming, so one can't really call it straight-up folk. Let's call it experimental electro-folk (folktronica?). Turbines is somewhat quiet, yet it's rich and full of substance. Tunng reminds me a bit of Grand Rapids band, The Soil and The Sun, a band that I thought was like no other....until now.
