‘I’m a new kind of Christian’: Jordan Peterson on faith, family and the future of the right
What happens when you take a girl from Scotland and her acoustic guitar, and uproot them to the same studio in Berlin where U2 recorded Achtung Baby? Judging by KT Tunstall’s third album, Tiger Suit, the answer is a collection of moody, blackish songs. Tunstall made her name with the folk-pop jollity of Eye to the Telescope (2004) and Drastic Fantastic (2007). Here, electronic undertones and rock overtones are stirred into the mix to create a more complex sound.
Tunstall herself calls it ‘an eclectic album’ – and you can see where she’s coming from. The first track, ‘Uummannaq Song’, has a tribal feel to match its Greenlandic name.
