    Good Arrows is still a series of beautiful songs for that part of us all that just wants to stay in bed all day.
  2. Drowned In Sound

    It's an album sufficiently laced with despair to render the not-committed listener uncomfortable; delve deeper, though, to where the darkness makes way for an eerie underworld glow, and the record's beauty emerges.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)

    Unadulterated genius--we're practically drooling.

    It's messy, it takes time to sink in, but it's worth it. [Sep 2007, p.100]

    This album is very interesting and eclectic. Tunng really has their own sound, and should not get mislabeled as "folktronic" or any other hackneyed titles. The music is warm and harmonically rich, with enough terrific melodies and straightforward song writing structure to be accessible and enjoyable, yet has enough innovation and creativity going on to be original, rough on the edges, and thoroughly divergent from that major label sound. In other words, it keeps me interested, yet I can play it around my girlfriend, who can't stand excessively strange music.… Expand
