Tunic-Frontman David Schellenberg has been forced to get to know conventional 40-hour work weeks outside of the band’s everyday life. And decided for himself that this was one Wrong Dream to live for him would be.

„You’re supposed to be satisfied, sturdy and strong/ But what You really feel is stuck/ …/ Complaining regarding work/ But what you really feel is stuck/ It’s cancerous/ It grows within you/ a disease unable to shake/ a disease unable to shake/ To work./ To survive./ To overtake you” is the logical statement in the single, which is performed with poppy nonchalance and a feverishly shimmering texture Diseasewhile the rest of the record is more than ever between the noise rock battle zones of KEN fashion and especially Daughters urges.
Just hear how Under Glass as a psychosis made up of self-flagellating circles and tarantula stabs, together with a chilled, droning backing lethargy that hardly allows any other association, and also otherwise: with guitar strings stretched in panic on nerve strands, which often wait for the right moments for bold attacks or atmospheric build-up of tension, a stoically rumbling one Rhythm section, which is omnipresent and yet so precisely accentuated, and of course Schellenberg’s manic chanting vocals, which tend to theatrically effervescent spoken word lamentation with hissing desperation.

Seem like that Tunic to lurk moodily with suppressed, encouraged heaviness, only to instinctively escalate, although the songwriting always evades the most obvious catharsis. Be it in the sinister strolling noir attitude of the abrasive force of Protectedthe post punk by Whisperingwho looks like a bastard Idles and Metz a kind of opulent finale, or one that is almost immediately danceable for the band Indirect.
Above all the beastliness, which is not at all shy of references but claims its own identity, is the finale Empty Huska doomy, sizzling bleeding of worn-out beauty, complete with optimistic optimism and a dangerous emo spirit of optimism, which finally straightens out the epigoneism and Tunic actually comforting her displeasure: “This entity is gone/ That is an empty husk/ I’ve reached that point of it/ That I’ve been afraid of„.
The sound godfathers of the trio are rarely available for such a redemptive, consensual sense of community.
