Tunng’s founding members Mike Lindsay and Sam Genders have a new project called Throws and a self-titled album on the way. The effort was conceived and recorded in Lindsay’s new home and recording studio in Reykjavik, where Genders visited him for a month. Being together again, the pair reconnected their creative minds and started to make music.
“The whole month became a cathartic party,” said Lindsay speaking about it. “We talked about the challenges we were facing in life. We walked by the sea and along the city’s small streets to crowded bars and cafes. We drank, laughed a lot, and danced like madmen on moonshine whilst recording whatever ideas came to us without any responsibilities other than making music, eating, and sleeping.”
The upcoming album also saw Lindsay and Genders being joined by guest contributors, including Icelandic String Quartet Amiina, drummer Magnús Trygvason Eliassen, and múm’s Sigurlaug Gísladóttir.
Throws arrives on June 10th via Full Time Hobby, and ahead of it, the pair shared the wonderful lead single ‘Punch Drunk Sober’. Take a listen now.
