Songs You Make at Night

U.K.-based collective Tunng formed in 2003 when core members Mike Lindsay and Sam Genders began weaving samples of film dialogue and other found sounds into their songs. They honed their approach over the course of several beautiful albums, always moving between staid traditional British folk trappings and more curious experimental electronics. Though various lineups would make new Tunng material under the Lindsay's guidance, Genders bowed out after 2007's Good Arrows, more focused on family life than life on the road or in the studio. Songs You Make at Night sees Lindsay and Genders reunited for the first time in over a decade, bringing along the rest of the original Tunng crew in a return to the watery, surreal tonalities of their earliest output. The album succeeds in cultivating the same dreamlike atmosphere that marks the band's best work, but moves forward to achieve this rather than returning to tested formulas. In their earliest days, Tunng were often branded as the folksier U.
