About Tunng
Tunng are an English folk music band. They are often associated with the folktronica genre, due to the electronic influences evident in some of their work. Tunng are often noted for their use of unconventional instruments, including seashells and percussive electronic samples.
Sam Genders and Mike Lindsay, two of the founding members of Tunng, began their musical careers together after meeting at one of Genders's early London solo gigs.
Besides releasing five albums and numerous singles since 2004, Tunng have covered Bloc Party's song "The Pioneers". Both the original and cover were featured in the third season of The O.C. . They also covered Tim Buckley's "No Man Can Find The War" for the 2006 tribute album Dream Brother: The Songs of Tim and Jeff Buckley.
They supported Doves on dates at the end of their 2005 tour. Member Becky Jacobs is the younger sister of electronic musician Max Tundra.
In 2007, the band were included on The Imagined Village album, with a retold version of "Death and the Maiden". In 2008, Tunng remixed the song "Hoko Onchi" on Dive Index's Collisions – The Mid/Air Remixes. Their song "Bullets" was played during the end credits of the Weeds season four episode, "Till We Meet Again", in September 2008.
"Jenny Again" from Comments of the Inner Chorus was used as the soundtrack for the TV ad from the NSPCC to launch the NSPCC Child's Voice Appeal.
