Tunng have shared new single ‘Everything Else’.
The band go back to their roots on new album ‘Love You All Over Again’, which is slated to land on January 24th. It’s 20 years since their debut, with Tunng tapping into their foundations, melting together fragrant folk and spectral electronics.
Out now, new song ‘Everything Else’ shows the delicate interplay of the musicians within Tunng, switching it up between jazz-leaning time signatures.
The polyrhythmic folk guitars weave around in 5/4 and 4/4, while the piano chords sit in 6/4 – somehow it all gels, amid the glossy synths. ‘Everything Else’ “really should be a complete mess – but somehow is a magical meld,” says the band’s Mike Lindsay.
“This track actually started out as a guitar part that Ash sent me which he’d written in response to a video of me and Phil [Winter] jamming on machines the first day in the studio. The jam never became anything, but that guitar part inspired this whole track,” he continues. “When Sam [Genders] came to the studio, he started writing lyrics, as he does so immediately and so brilliantly”.
Tune in now.
