Pioneers Ep [Vinyl]
7 Inch EP. The magnificent Tunng is back..and this time with a fabulous dual-format EP for Staticf Caravan featuring a cover version of Block Party"s "The Pioneers" stripped of the histrionic herky-jerky guitars and XFM vocals, to be replaced by a very satisfying trickle of electronic folk. The product of Tuung (Mike Lindsay and Sam Genders), "The Pioneers" exists somewhere between the Beta Band, The Notwist and Nick Drake; a sound they honed to nigh-perfection on their LP Mother"s Daughter. Backed up by "Tale From Black" (a throbbing cohabitation of Ye Olde folk, dusty samples and rigid beats), "Pool Beneath The Pond" (oak-lined bass, sonorous vocals and skin-itching tronica). The Pioneers" is as satisfying a chunk of rustictronica you"re likely to hear. Static Caravan. 2006.
