I put "Good Arrows" into my CD player having absolutely no idea of who or what Tunng were. As a general rule of thumb my arrogance usually invites me to hate anything I haven't heard of. Some what of a paradox for a music blogger wouldn't you say?
But it's always nice to be surprised.
From get-go Tunng had an interesting, inviting sound that welcomed me with open arms. Without going excessively into meddling with sounds and the optional extras, Tunng strike an ideal balance between warm memorable fairytales and blunt non-fiction. I suppose you could say Tunng are like my favourite fantasy and yet they have an endearing grasp of reality that sits next to me on the fence so comfortably.
The track I'm featuring today is their latest single "Bullets" and along with the accompanying film clip, it serves as an ideal bookmark for exactly what Tunng bring to the table. "Bullets" secretly marches along like Johnson & friends when no one else is in the room but the difference being, Tunng invite us in on their secret parties they do not lay lifeless on the floor, pretending they're not real when we walk in the room.
