Tunng Announce new album ‘Love You All Over Again’ released January 24th on Full Time Hobby.
Celebrate 20 years since first album in 2025.
Time flies when you’re being Tunng. Can it really be over two decades since the band’s genre-blurring, self-styled ‘pagan folktronica’ first emerged from an east London studio. It surely can, and what’s more, January 2025 will mark the twentieth anniversary of This is Tunng... Mother’s Daughter and Other Songs, a debut longplayer whose acoustic guitars and poetic disquisitions on nature, mythology and the human condition, courtesy of Sam Genders, sieved through fellow band founder Mike Lindsay’s lattice of fractured beats and crackling electronics, still sounds like an impiously postmodern wedding of the rustic and the synthetic, the arcane and the futurist.
That 20-year-old signature sound makes a warm return on Tunng’s eighth studio album, Love You All Over Again, a winning amalgam of texture and melody, disconcerting imagery and shapeshifting production, predicated, Lindsay reveals, on a conscious reacquainting with the band’s first principles. “I went back to the first two albums just to listen to how we fused genres – things like Davy Graham, Pentangle, the Expanding Records catalogue and the Wicker Man soundtrack. Over the years, Tunng’s sound has varied and twisted, but at the root there is always a flavour of what Sam and I made on that first album. Rather than searching for a new avenue we went back to what we used to do, which, after all this time, felt like it was a new avenue... Love You All Over Again is our way of coming full circle.”
Lead single ‘Didn’t Know Why’ is a dauntless face-off between metallic synths and pellucid guitar arpeggiation with lyrics about a familiar Tunng song character, Jenny. “It's very Tunng: dark but then warm and melancholic. Sam heard this and immediately brought back the murderous Jenny, who has appeared on two previous Tunng albums”. Genders offers his take on Jenny. “She once represented a kind of romantic ideal – ‘the one’ – but now she’s a sort of every-person – a kind of archetype of all of us!”
Love You All Over Again is an album that gets to the very essence of Tunng. "For Tunng to work, it has to feel surprising, odd and unpredictable, and the new album has all that. It’s all about Tunng being back, as a family, within our original boundaries, bringing the love to all who have been a part of our journey over 20 years.” Lindsay sums up nicely.
Praise for previous album ‘Dead Club’
‘This is a really astonishing piece of work…Seven albums in, Tunng have made something that manages to be not only musically stunning but also has some hefty cultural import’ – NARC (5/5) Album of The Month
‘Rich with clarinet and strings, this is an album of murmured wise advice’ – Financial Times (4/5)
‘Tunng’s seventh album is impressively wayward…gorgeous textures of clarinets, guitars and synthesizers keep the project bracingly alive’ – MOJO (4/5)
‘remarkable collision of music and spoken word…as odd and beautiful as it is thoughtful and contemplative’ – UNCUT (7/10)
