Tunng : Good Arrows

I got into Tunng some time near the middle of last year, so I have been anticipating their latest release, Good Arrows, since I heard they were working on new material. The nice thing was, due to the stretch between UK and US releases, I had a lot of material to hold me over until this week. While US folk moves more towards the earthly, experimental and "freakier" factions, Tunng pushes further and further down the technological path. Tunng makes some of the finest electro-folk out there - using traditional and very non-traditional instruments and sound devices. The band has permanently grown in size as well, and the cohesion is apparent.

"Taking influences from Icelandic prog rock, choral music and film soundtracks, Good Arrows marks a significant development for Tunng."

Their third album, Good Arrows, has been released by Thrill Jockey and you can buy it here. Tunng's MySpace.
