Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Collating Tunng's various radio sessions for shows helmed by such as Rob Da Bank, Lauren Laverne and Marc Riley, This Is Tunng... presents their nu-folk-rock at something close to optimum, in performances which sparkle with spontaneity.
What's impressive is the consistency of approach and execution: although the incorporation of found-sound bricolage is more subtly effected on later sessions, their basic blend of arpeggiating guitar, accordion, glockenspiel and pulsing percussion is as perfectly balanced on earlier recordings like "Beautiful and Light" as on later pieces. But that basic blend expands to accommodate all manner of musical flavours, from the mantra-like chants of "The Pioneers" to the desert-blues shuffle of their collaboration with Tinariwen, "Tamatant Tilay".
