It’s been over two decades since Tunng’s genre-blurring, self-styled ‘pagan folktronica’ first emerged from an East London studio, and 2025 will see the release of their eighth studio album Love You All Over Again via Full Time Hobby.

It’s been over two decades since Tunng’s genre-blurring, self-styled ‘pagan folktronica’ first emerged from an East London studio, and 2025 will see the release of their eighth studio album Love You All Over Again via Full Time Hobby. The upcoming record is a winning amalgam of texture and melody, disconcerting imagery, and shapeshifting production – a conscious reacquainting with the same principles the band first started with.
Lead single “Didn’t Know Why” is a dauntless face-off between metallic synths and pellucid guitar arpeggiation, with lyrics about a familiar Tunng song character, Jenny. “It’s very Tunng: dark, but then warm and melancholic. Sam heard this and immediately brought back the murderous Jenny, who has appeared on two previous Tunng albums.” Genders offers his take on Jenny: “She once represented a kind of romantic ideal – ‘the one’ – but now she’s a sort of every-person – a kind of archetype of all of us!”
