With previous albums on Guruguru Brain and Beyond Beyond Is Beyond, TENGGER return with their self-titled 13th album to be released by We Are Busy Bodies on September 29th.

TENGGER is a traveling musical family, made up of Pan-Asian couple Itta and Marqido, who create their hypnotic, ethereal, and beautiful sound through the use of Indian harmonium, voice and synths, and electronics. The group have built up international awareness through extensive touring in Europe and Asia, and through releases on acclaimed labels Guruguru Brain, Centripetal Force, Beyond is Beyond is Beyond, and others. The band has a solid history of editorial attention and acclaim, drawing support from Pitchfork, Stereogum, and NPR.

This album represents an opportunity for the globetrotting family trio to explore their origins. TENGGER means ultimate expanded sky in Mongolian. The album finds TENGGER accepting the mood of the world, using the motion of wind and waves as sonic inspiration. TENGGER's interest in cosmology reflects in their outlook and lyrical approach. In their words "the sound starts from the breaking dawn and circulates around until the night sky and the milky way."

Opening single "PANAPTU" offers a reverent respect to "the earth and the sky", the band write. "The sun, the rain, and the things that grow on the ground make up our bodies and soul. Both can be compared to a mirror. Humanity (on the earth) looks up at the sky; the sky looks at us Illuminate each other and influence each other. Change is happening every moment."
