MELTING VINYL PRESENT: Tunng 20th Anniversary Tour + Dan Gavanski
Time flies when you’re being Tunng. Can it really be over two decades since the band’s genre-blurring, self-styled ‘pagan folktronica’ first
emerged from an east London studio courtesy of a clutch of Gilles Peterson-endorsed singles on the small but perfectly formed Static Caravan imprint? It surely can, and what’s more, January 2025 will mark the twentieth anniversary of This is Tunng… Mother’s Daughter and Other Songs, a debut longplayer whose acoustic guitars and poetic disquisitions on nature, mythology and the human condition, courtesy of Sam Genders, sieved through fellow band founder Mike Lindsay’s lattice of fractured beats and crackling electronics, still sounds like an impiously postmodern wedding of the rustic and the synthetic, the arcane and the futurist – one for which the designation ‘pagan folktronica’ is as good a shorthand as any.
Whichever way we choose to describe it, that 20-year-old signature sound makes a warm return on Tunng’s eighth studio album, Love
You All Over Again, a winning amalgam of texture and melody, disconcerting imagery and shapeshifting production.
Love You All Over Again is an album that gets to the very essence of Tunng. “For Tunng to work, it has to feel surprising, odd and unpredictable, and the new album has all that. It’s all about Tunng being back, as a family, within our original boundaries, bringing love to all who have been a part of our journey over 20 years.” Lindsay sums up nicely.
Dana Gavnski’s, born in Vancouver to a Serbian family, Dana has always harboured a desire to sing, her debut album “Yesterday Is Gone”
is on Full Time Hobby. Recorded and produced by Sam Gleason and Mike Lindsay (Tunng, Lump with Laura Marling), the album includes the singles “Good Instead of Bad”, “One By One” and the BBC 6 Music A-listed “Catch.” Some of the best indie, folk, pop art-rock around at the moment.
