#2 - Top 10 Musical Discoveries of 2008
(previous years: 2007, 2006, 2005)
2. Tunng - Good Arrows
Origin: United Kingdom
Genre: Folk/Electronica
While this album is in familiar company in terms of its weirdness on this list, it is less... jarring than the rest. The first track is pretty strange, but from then on in, even though it doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard before, it seems so strangely normal. As if you had been listening to this type of music all along, you just hadn't noticed. I'm not sure how to talk about it, otherwise, except to say that the vocals are really nice.
Their MySpace, it contains sound.
Man, I'm so happy about Apple dropping DRM. I feel like we live in the future.
