Tunng have announced a new compilation album full of B-sides and rarities from throughout their 13-year career, today revealing the opening track, "Heatwave".

This Is Tunng... Magpie Bites and Other Cuts will be their first release since last year's Songs You Make at Night album.

"Heatwave" is the first track from the compilation to be shared. It was originally released as a bonus 7” included with deluxe version of last year's album. Tunng co-founder Mike Lindsay says that "Heatwave" was "written on one hot and sticky morning whilst working on what would become Songs You Make at Night. It gleefully wrote itself while Sam (Genders, co-founder) was dancing around the mixing desk."

The rest of the compilation features B-sides, bonus singles, and other oddities, all from 2004-2018.

Tracklist:

  1. Heatwave
  2. The Pioneers
  3. Bodies
  4. Pool Beneath the Pond
  5. Death and the Madien Retold
  6. Band Holiday
  7. No Man Can Find the War
  8. Magpie Bites
  9. Clump
  10. Band Stand
  11. Peanuts
"Heatwave" is out now. This Is Tunng... Magpie Bites and Other Cuts arrives 28 June via Full Time Hobby, and is available to pre-order now.
