Shudder, the new album by San Francisco trio The Tunnel, is out today on Learning Curve Records.
“I see our music as a hot-wired transformer in a dead dark city," says The Tunnel's Jeff Wagner. "The dystopian future is now."
Stabs of growling bass, discordant peals of guitar, and robotic drums set the stage for Wagner’s unmistakable voice – a sinister croon, caked in distortion and sleaze. Bearing traces of such pompadoured antiheroes as Nick Cave, Wagner’s dark twang is offset by the band’s mechanized throb. These two energies – the sultry noir and the cold machinery – grind against each other and create the sparks that are The Tunnel.
Upcoming shows:
May 29 – Minneapolis, MN @ Caterwaul Festival
June 17 – San Francisco, CA @ The Kilowatt
