Special first release... Ok it's very Khruangbin but taken to bliss- and that's a good thing! We like this.
This is the first release from new micro-label 'Before I Die'curated by Jason Boardman (Aficionado Recordings).
Tungusku is a guitar-based instrumental project inspired byhypnotic grooves from around the world. The duo behind theband are Phil Ratcliffe (Guitar) and James Defty (Bass) whoare longtime collaborators of Manchester live hip-hopcollective The Mouse Outfit.
Influenced by artists such as Khruangbin, Skinshape andTommy Guerrero, Tungusku explores a sonic landscape thattakes in stoner soul, jazzy psychedelia and low-end beats.
The five tracks on the EP were released in digital formatand subsequently came to Jason's attention who remasteredand collated them for vinyl release on this edition.
Before I Die commissioned MMU graduate @deedoubleyooto provide fine art direction for the first release to completethe package.
Call it Balearic, Jazz, Funk, Soul or whatever you like, this isan accomplished debut from emerging Mancunian artistshighly aware of their direction of travel.
