Good Arrows
A couple of years back, ‘folktronica' was the genre of the moment for many music journos, and no review of UK act Tunng and their debut album Mother's Daughters & Other Songs was complete without it. Now on to their third album, the core duo of Sam Genders and Mike Lindsay have evolved into a fully functioning six piece band. Good Arrows is the act's first album recorded with their collective input.
The result, naturally, is a fuller sound as a variety of instruments from the harp to the hammer dulcimer (think the busker outside Myer Bourke Street - you know the one) make an appearance. Though often these instruments navigate from the back seat, as the thick vocal arrangements drive the songs and define Tunng's sound - far more so than the occasional electronic pulse, hum or glitch. Though ever-subtle, these tones still give those who need it an excuse to wack that "tronica" tag on if they are looking for an easy way to end or open their review.
