“un-ironic lite rock sound ala Hall and Oates and Prince…”
Press releases can be misleading and slightly worrying at times; I read the above statement and imagined padded shoulders, dodgy quiffs and endless Dynasty/Magnum P.I. re-runs.
In actual fact Tigercity are more than your average 80’s tribute band. Yes, their sound is more than a little bit indebted to the golden age of spandex. Then again there is more than a knowing wink to recent indie successes from the likes of the Killers, Passion Pit and Yacht both in production and arrangements.
The Brooklyn outfit’s album ‘Ancient Lover’ has been flirting with my Ipod ever since its release back in November. Fish out your legwarmers. wear your Reebok pumps, apply copious amounts of mascara, temporarily put your Gameboy away and and dance to Tigercity.
