TWIN TIGERS: CURIOUS FACES VIOLET FUTURE
Athens, Georgia band Twin Tigers have been creating a serious buzz down south. Their self-released EP, Curious Faces Violet Future is a dark collection of neo-psychedelic songs with plenty of distortion in the vein of Jesus and Mary Chain, Sonic Youth, and The Black Angels. They are, according to Future Sounds, “the kind of band that could dismantle SilverSun Pickups from their perch on top of the Smashing Pumpkins/Primal Scream/Sonic Youth post.” They play really raw noisy tunes with plenty of guitar feed back and reverb to create trance-like layers to the melodies hidden beneath. The band is currently on tour with the Hold Steady, touching down in New York on May 3rd at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn and Pianos on May 4th.
You can also download the track “Passive Idol”, or watch the bands trippy new video for “Red Fox Run”, directed by Robert U. Thomason.
