Tunng: …And Then We Saw Land

Tunng is set to release their next album, …And Then We Saw Land, on March 1st, 2010. Set for official release in mid-February, you may have already heard their first single, Don’t Look Down or Back, from various blogs. Tunng crosses a bridge between folk and experimental electronica, thick with British accents, and is one of our favorite bands in this niché genre.

Their new album, …And Then We Saw Land, was recorded over a span of twelve months, and follows Good Arrows from 2007. For three songs the ‘inner chorus’ was expanded to The Mega Chorus, “a 15-strong group of collaborators and drinking buddies who lent their voices to the album one rainy night in an abandoned school hall in Old Street.”

Tunng’s approach for their latest collection of songs is more “open” and “adaptable.” Describing the new album, the band said, “We learned that you don’t always need structure! As long as there is presence, emotion and groove.”
