Tunng - "Surprise Me 44"

Today was a slow day and I was at a loss for something great to post on, until one of my great readers saved me and sent me this song. London's Tunng play a mesmerising mix of acoustic folk and glitchy electronics. Their songs have the warm glow of Akron/Family, but with the unpredictable snaps, crackles and pops of Four Tet or Mum. Tunng recently signed to Full Time Hobby Records, who will be releasing their next album Comments of the Inner Chorus on May 22nd. I'd also like incase you didn't already come to this conclusion, the girl is really cute, so there's that.

[MP3]: Tunng :: Surprise Me 44 (Highly Rec'd!)
This song is like a snow ball. It starts out as a simple acoustic tune and as it rolls along it picks up more and more glitches, crackles, pops, beeps creating a amazingly interesting melody with really warm and welcoming vocals. The lyrics move along slow and are fun to sing along with: "We'll light the fires when the sun winds down / Coil up retreat to the red white sound / We'll scramble down as they all rush out / The burned up the sold up the fools and clowns."
