7 TRACKS WE'VE BEEN ENJOYING IN THE WHAT HI-FI? TEST ROOMS

What Hi-Fi UK

September 2025

Here we have another excuse to bury your head in the musical sand and discover, or simply enjoy, some tasty test tunes. Wolf Alice, A$AP Rocky, Muse and Alice Cooper are all on the bill - you'd have to go to Glastonbury if you wanted to hear such a diverse array of talent all in one place.

DIDN'T KNOW WHY TUNNG

Tunng's signature 'folktronica' sound is on full display, as the band blends soft, textured English folklore tones with crisp electronica noises, packing the song full of shape-shifting sonic surprises. The initial few seconds of crunchy, taut electronic noises that flit across the soundscape are gorgeous - heard on speakers that are particularly open, detailed and clear, these are sounds and textures put together in a really unique way. It is delightful and unexpected. It may sound fairly simple at first, but the repeated refrain of "Wake up in the morning / Everybody eat your lungs and heart" needs a system with excellent rhythmic ability to maintain the momentum without ever losing interest.
