This is the first release from new label Before I Die curated by esteemed Mancunian, Aficionado co-founder and encyclopedic musical maverick Jason Boardman. 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.
