Interview | Diagram’s Sam Genders

Sam Genders isn’t a man to stay in one place too long. Best known as co-founder of electro-folk band Tunng, he’s also been a member of folk super group The Accidental and is now back with solo project, Diagrams.

Album | Diagrams – Black Light

This slice of quirky loveliness comes from former Tunng frontman, Sam Genders, plus a host of supporting musicians that reads like a roll call of up and coming folk artists.

Album: Tunng – …And Then We Saw Land

There’s nothing strikingly different about …And Then We Saw Land, Tunng’s fourth record.  All of the main ingredients for a modern British folk album are present – the harmonies, cheerful melodies and casual banjo are all present and correct.  Though there are, of course, the little moments that define the album clearly but briefly...

Brian’s Mixtape #26: Down In One

I expect you’re wondering what Brian’s excuse is this time? The silly old owl asked for your suggestions for drinking songs on his twitter @LordBrianWilson on Monday, then duly spent the day glugging acorn wine while listening to them.
