This is the first release from new micro label 'Before I Die' curated by Jason Boardman (Aficionado Recordings).
Tungusku are a guitar based instrumental project inspired by hypnotic grooves from around the world. The duo behind the band are Phil Ratcliffe (Guitar) and James Defty (Bass) who are longtime collaborators of Manchester live hip-hop collective The Mouse Outfit.
Influenced by artists such as Khruangbin, Skinshape and Tommy Guerrero, Tungusku explore a sonic landscape that takes in stoner soul, jazzy psychedelia and low-end beats.
The five tracks on the EP were released on digital format and subsequently came to Jasons attention who remastered and collated them for vinyl release on this edition.
Before I Die commissioned MMU graduate @deedoubleyoo to provide fine art direction for the first release to complete the package.
Call it Balearic, Jazz, Funk, Soul or whatever you like, this is an accomplished debut from emerging Mancunian artists highly aware of their direction of travel.

マンチェスターのライヴ・ヒップホップ集団The Mouse Outfitにも参加していたギタリストPhil RatcliffeとベースのJames Deftyのデュオを中心としたTUNGUSKU。ミニアルバム的な５曲編成のアルバム。レゲエ、サイケデリックロック、フュージョンのエッセンス、ベースライン、多層に漂い、消えてゆくギターメロディー。カンタベリーロックみたいなジャケットのアートワークもいい。リリースを待たずしてギタリストのPhil Ratcliffeは他界。遺作となった。プロジェクトは半年の時を経て新たな歩みを始めています。良い音、良いレコード。 (サイトウ)
