Tunng So Far From Here

Years and years ago (shortly before I started Indie Shuffle), I used to binge on new albums. I'd literally burn through five a day, looking to find the next best thing -- and in the process jettisoning bands left and right. Fortunately, one of the albums that caught my attention was Tunng's Good Arrows, an experimental folk pop record with a myriad of twists and turns.

Alas, these days I'm all about singles -- the last full album I listened to was by My Bloody Valentine, and boy was that a bore! So, it's a good thing that Tunng just released a new single titled "So Far From Here," set to be released on their album Turbines (due June 17th).

"So Far From Here" maintains Tunng's signature mixed-gender vocal approach, fully backed by layered instrumentation (my favorite moment might be the fun guitar lick you'll notice at 1:07).

Overall, the chances that they'll get me to snap back into my album listening phase is slim. But, you can bet your buttons that if they release another single I'll be all over it!
