Soft Tigers

Soft Tigers

Soft tigers started out in suburban Canberra, A world where not many people escape from let alone draw influences from their surrounding environment. Here and on the beaches of Sydney they recorded a song divided up into 12 parts. 12 say “chapters” of a song that they turned into an album full of natural NSW wonders

For people who foremost count themselves as directors/editors for film their musical skills are natural un-contrived outputs of their creative selves hardly seen in today’s musical scapes.

Befitting their birth in the age of the sampler, Soft Tigers flit in and out of genre like a cordial-swigging kid flicking through the channels. Fitting, vaguely, into some sort of post-Avalanches Australia personified by Architecture In Helsinki, Cut Copy, and Bumblebeez, Soft Tigers unique sound shows little fidelity to the norms of this land. In fact, they show a blatant disregard for the pub-rock rulebook that is, still!, Australia’s (bog) standard.
