Tunng’s Late Junction mixtape

Nick Luscombe presents a mixtape from experimental folk band Tunng following their performance at the End of the Road Festival 2019.

Nick Luscombe presents a mixtape from experimental folk band Tunng following their performance at End of the Road festival 2019.

Tunng have been exploring the boundaries between acoustic and electronic music for the last two decades. Original members Sam Genders and Mike Lindsay are oft described as the founding fathers of the (sometimes divisive) genre ‘folktronica’, following the release of their influential debut record ‘Mother’s Daughters and Other Songs’ in 2003. In the years since and with the rest of the group, described as a ‘tight knit song writing family’, the pair have subverted and blended traditional acoustic folk with glitched-out electronics.

Their mixtape selections include fellow End of the Road performers Jim Ghedi and Gazelle Twin as well as quintessential English folk, Malian blues, Tuareg rock, Tamil electronics and something from The Wicker Man.

Produced by Katie Callin.
