A Harmony of Loss Has Been Sung is a document of pure pain. The six songs that span Tunic's fourth record are intense, uncomfortable and bleak as hell. The midwest duo move away from traditional songwriting and find themselves creating guttural, cathartic outpourings of tortured rage that combine elements of post rock, skramz and of course, noise rock. 

Tunic has always been a vessel for dealing with pain. However, the band's latest effort chronicles not just frontman David Schellenberg's pain, but his wife's too; as the album centres around the miscarriage that the couple experienced in early 2023. Throughout the album Schellenberg tells the story of heartbreak between depraved screams of lunacy and defeated washed-out monotone that perfectly move in tandem with the heaviest compositions the band has ever crafted.

A Harmony of Loss Has Been Sung is a record that doesn't want you to catch on; there's not a chorus on the whole thing for you to even do so; but that doesn't mean it's not listenable, it's quite the opposite even. It will engulf you for its full 33 minutes, drag you under into its world of brutal defeat; and have you bartering for solace that will never come.
