Well now! According to my calculations, this act made the faves waaaaaaaaaay back in 2014. So we’re going old school! Back then FOTN founder Tom Robinson reviewed them. 11 years ago! They’ve even got his review in their bio.
Wow.
This starts off with a Middle Eastern influenced violin melody, and then the percussion drops in, laying down rapid fire rhythms – the distorted bass gives the track even more character, but what caught my attention was the vocals provided by Jonathan De’Ath, a multi instrumentalist according to 10Tiger’s Apple Music credits for this song. He switches between the low growl in the verse and turns it up in the chorus, I wonder what this would sound like live? Given that 10Tigers is a collective this could be something special!
This song powers ahead with its rhythms, and I reckon that’s what made it do so well on the listening post this weekend.
Welcome back 10Tigers.
According to their soundcloud:
10Tigers is an art punk collective of music and poetry featuring contemporary musicians and artists, featuring Johnny De’Ath on vocals and drums, words by poet Daisy Shields, bass by painter Luke Hannam of cult punk-funk band Gramme, guitars by colourist Simon Hutchinson, and percussion by the legendary Basil Isaacs.
