Bio
Thanks Deerhunter, Campus a Low Hum and New Zealand! Times have been good times of late, looking forward to supporting The Drums (US) on their Australian tour and finalisin' our album! .. Debut EP Available in Hobart at Tommy Gun Records. .. Or in Melbourne at Polyester Records, Brunswick Street. .... Or available for download and order from our Bandcamp website at tigerchoir.bandcamp.com .. .. "I really dig Tiger Choir’s self-titled EP. It’s well produced, inventive, catchy, and energetic and fuck.".. - whothehell.net .. .. "Tiger Choir are on the cusp of a new wave we never knew existed. It's a futuristic sound that on first listen you'd think could only come out of a place as untouched and pristine as Tasmania.".. - ripitup.com.au .. .. "FUCK DAMN do they make for one killer first impression. In essence Tiger Choir are a three piece angular indie ensemble featuring Elliot Taylor on vocals and guitar, Hamish Cruickshank on guitar and Sam Nicholson on drums. Or maybe they're an ecclectic electronica outfit featuring all three members hammering a bewildering array of synths, keys, pads, effects and tweaker boxes. Or if you could somehow reconcile both extremes in a way that doesn't involve something as pretensiously wanky as the Midnight Juggernauts (thank fuck!) and THAT'S what's playing in front of us tonight. And in the way that they've got all their equipment propped up on black milk crates in the middle, rats nest of cables spiralling out with their hoodies up? it's almost like we're witness to a 21st Century pagan ritual short of a rising plume of smoke (or perhaps it's a mid nineties Chemical Brothers film clip) and in musical influences!? they're even harder to place! Initially I had them pegged as everything from These New Puritans, Mountains In The Sky, Massive Attack Vs The Mad Professor, The Klaxons and all manner of cockney oddball futuristic shit you'd find in NME (which clearly they're not). Until it finally dawns on me that they're actually Gerling's "Children of Telepathic Experiences" meets The Animal Collective, or perhaps they're like none of the above; either way I'm inspired! I mean this right here is the sorta shit scene geeks like me freaking dream about: a fresh musical discovery.. and this band are that and SOOO MUCH MORE! I mean the way they build their songs through synth, guitar and drum; endlessly reverbed and resonating like an otherworldly choir? The way they ebb and flow from such serene silence to shredding crescendo in that hypnotic organic synthetic pastiche of theirs? How they make all those dream drenched math tones, kinetic percussion, start/stop attack dynamics, unintelligible filtered screams, yelps and hooting catcalls so alien, angular yet artfully accessible? DUUUDE!! I mean as much as this whole trip to The Exeter tonight was merely me seeking out my much needed "hair of the dog" thinly disguised as a live music blog, THESE FREAKS TOTALLY MADE MY MONTH!!".. - Spoz @ spoz.blogspot.com .. ..
