TIGER! SHIT! TIGER! TIGER! / Bloom

TIGER! SHIT! TIGER! TIGER!
release “Bloom”
out on February 23rd 2024

Bloom finally establishes the band’s knack for dynamic delivery and finds TSTT pushing their limits to extremes. It offers a chance for the group to try out different approaches like the grungy tinged Dark Age and Endless which twists a post shoegaze vibe. Songs here are as good as anything to date especially on a teetering-on-the-edge-of-breakdown version of “Memory” and the monolith of starched noise built around the sonic guitars of “Empty Pool”.

Sonically TSTT deftly combines its sound with new musical explorations, drawing inspiration from mid 90s American alternative and indierock underground. They are fully embracing the punk side of 90’s alternative rock mixed with shoegaze in a way that’s closer to Sonic Youth and Jesus and Mary Chain. For them Music means taking a standard verse-chorus-verse structure and slathering it with their trademark oddly-tuned and feedback-spewing guitars.
