Tunng - Bricks

Tunng, the London group formed around knob-twiddler Mike Lindsay and singer / songwriter Sam Genders, have been frequently saddled with the folktronica tag. But this, like all other such catch-words, is something the band in question want to overcome. Its application derives from their mix of light acoustic guitars and sliding samples, as single Bricks – from their forthcoming third LP – testifies. Tunng may fit the bracket they've been assigned to, but their inventive music – think Super Furries without the amps – should prove distinctive enough to stand apart from the crowd and provide a hazy soundtrack to the late summer.
