THE REVIEW

What the hell 'Tunng' means I don't know, but I know that from tonight I will associate them with something we all seek at least for a while in our daily life: tranquility.

I looked for this record after listening to 'Bullets' on MTV at half past four in the morning. After listening to it, I was amazed by the harmony of the three voices, two male and one female, of the group. The video is also very nice, I refer you to YouTube to watch it. 

I don't know how to analyze music, I don't know much about music theory and history. For this reason, I speak of feelings... Because in the end, what is music if not the art of giving emotions through sound?

The emotion that stands out most in this record is calmness.

The sounds are muffled, the guitars weave and the piano finishes really good pieces.

It's useless to do a track-by-track, but definitely worth mentioning are:

Bullets: Harmonic and sweet, very melancholic, with an exhilarating ending.

Take: With its Latin rhythm, and chords that give the piece its rhythm.

Hands: Melancholy over a sweet arpeggio.

Soup: Instrumental piece, music box and guitar create a sweet lullaby until the scream "Soup!" which transforms the lullaby into the only piece with distorted guitars.

String: Two minutes and forty-five seconds of pure vocal sweetness.

The pieces are sweet, the voices are melodious, and the songs flow quickly.

A record for all moments, but in my opinion, it gives its best on a rainy day...

A tip: listen to it
