| [new music] Tiger Talk |

Jamie Williams of Leeds band Tigers That Talked can be described as a poet, musician, genius and a lover of Haribo. However, what can his favourite recent tunes be decribed as?
My Blog: by Jamie Williams (www.myspace.com/tigersthattalked) There is so much stuff on myspace now that finding something that actually touches or inspires you is quite a rare treat. Myspace is great for getting music out to people without having to go through the usual channels but this does take away quite a lot of quality control. Everyday we get a lot of requests from very pub rockish bands called things like 'The Fusion' or 'Ripcage' (apologies if those are real bands)which generally involves a picture of four guys looking very temperamental in a carpark accompanied by some badly recorded oasis covers, except with slightly different lyrics…. However here are some really nice things I’ve discovered on myspace: Milk by Crayon (www.myspace.com/crayoncrayon)
I really love this track, I remember when I came across it I had to play it constantly for a while. The keyboards are very simple but beautiful and the vocal line is memorable. Milk is kind of a mix of Postal Service and Kid A (Radiohead). They’re from the same city as us but I never saw them and they broke up before I even knew about them. A real shame as there aren’t very many bands doing this kind of stuff here… Through Dark Night by Wild Beasts (www.myspace.com/wildbeasts)
This is another track that instantly made me want to listen to it over and over. The singer’s voice is one of the strangest I’ve ever heard, kind of reminiscent of Edith Piaf and Kate Bush but male. The lyrics are a bit indecipherable but really interesting to read with some nice literary references scattered around. The song would be a great tune if sang by a more traditional singer, it reminds me of the kind of Motown songs that Ronnie Spector used to produce but the vocals transform it into a very unique experience. New York City Fuck Off by Matson Jones (http://www.myspace.com/matsonjonesmusic)
I can’t remember how or why I found this song but it’s definitely one of my favourites. Its intelligently written indie rock except there are no guitars; instead two cellos, standup bass and drums. The cellos create the riffs, interweaving with each other to create a very arresting and unusual sound. The vocal melodies are really cool with two girls singing. The lyrics to this song are something I quite identify with, not New York city as I’ve only been once and it was nice, but generally the negative aspects of living in a city and how a nihilism becomes harboured in you when faced with the repetition and frustrating endlessness of city dwelling. I don’t know anything about this Colorado band really, other than their name is very easy to forget and I spent literally minutes trying to find them again for this blog… The Final Ecstasy of Jeremiah Ghost by The Pan I Am (www.myspace.com/thepaniam)
This is Edward Larrikin, the singer from Larrikin Love, in his new solo project. There are only 2 minute clips of the new stuff up but it sounds promising, I particularly like this one. I quite liked Larrikin Love and thought that they would develop into a very special band as they went on. I don’t know the reason behind them splitting up but whilst this is really different to that I like this. There are touches of Patrick Wolf in there but nothing too similar. I’d like to hear the whole songs as the track ‘Lillian Looks Beyond’ sounds like it could turn into something pretty crazy but it cut out. If you don’t know Larrikin Love then check out www.myspace.com/larrikinlove... There is a nice cover of ‘On Sussex Downs’ by Partick Wolf to found here as well as Guillemots cover of ‘Well, Love does Furnish A Life’….
