Sep 6, 2018Songs 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.
-
Sep 4, 2018The 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.
-
Aug 27, 2018This 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.

Aug 27, 2018Exploring both their known, time-honored chemistry and new inspirations, the vibe that stretches across Songs You Make at Night feels positive and renewed. Always caught in a dream, this is one of the brighter and more hopeful dreamscapes in the Tunng catalog.
-
Aug 24, 2018A record that lands with such hazy panache, transporting its listener into a nocturnal wilderness where dreams are limitless. The record is undoubtedly a strong return to form for the folktronica vanguards and potentially the signalling of a second coming for the band.
-
Aug 22, 2018It’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.

Q MagazineAug 21, 2018The 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]
-
Aug 21, 2018A must-listen for Tunng fans, this could mark the start of the second phase of their career.
-
Aug 21, 2018Short on hooks and obviously memorable moments, Songs You Make At Night is an album that excels in texture and dynamics instead, each thoughtfully composed song an intricate clockwork of whirring percussion and interlocking guitar and synth work.

MojoAug 21, 2018Songs feel shy of messing with the familiar. [Sep 2018, p.94]
