    Songs You Make at Night serves to place Tunng as spiritual kin to peak Moody Blues or Rotary Connection. Musically, though, Tunng remains in a class of its own.

    The presiding theme here is one of nocturnal activity, and it's rather nice to see the songs as half-lit visions, as if it were all a Puckish Midsummer illusion. [Sep 2018, p.118]

    A must-listen for Tunng fans, this could mark the start of the second phase of their career.

    It’s a fine showcase for Tunng’s strongest set of songs in many years--happily, this seems to be one reunion that’s working out just fine.

    This latest album is still a fair amount bubblier than early works, with the electronic part more prominent than on Mother’s Daughter or Good Arrows, yet it has the same recognizable magic as Tunng’s best work, in hectically complicated arrangements that melt into simplicity and sleek modern surfaces atop centuries-old modalities.

    The melodies are simple but lovely, often spelled out on tumbling acoustic guitar, as on Like Water, before being taken up by the group. It’s wonderful to have them back.

    Songs feel shy of messing with the familiar. [Sep 2018, p.94]

    Just a great album, warm electronics with acoustic and beautifully played instruments woven on top...accesible but intelligent songs andJust a great album, warm electronics with acoustic and beautifully played instruments woven on top...accesible but intelligent songs and aborbing vocals. I wish they reached more people...they should with this record. Expand
