Tiger Milk Imports
Tiger Milk Imports, 2013
Lazy lo-fi from San Diego. Messy synths, fuzzy guitar and grunge influences; tracks range from psychedelic to lounge-esque vibes (I think the best are the ones that feel spacey; it works best for their particular brand of indie rock). As a collective, the album is nothing flashy, but when they get it right, it's fantastic.
FCCs: 1, 3
1. (2:42) Stretched out/wailing guitar riffs. Gets decidedly more and more experimental-sounding as the song progresses and different variants of guitar noise are layered atop each other: heavy, psychedelic, distorted. FCCs. :(
2. *(4:03) Driven by an unmistakable electronic whir (background at first, then holds its own in the chorus and spills into vocals). Messy percussion, think Dirty Projectors. Guitar introduced halfway, creates a contained, static rhythm.
3. (3:42) Some of the electro/synth beat from the last track transitions into this one, but, in tandem with guitars whirring along and eerie layered vocals, creates a spacey feel in the chorus as the music slows down. Tonal shifts between "space" and "grunge" make it decidedly darker. Great track; unfortunate FCCs.
4. (4:43) Some lounge jazz in the opening percussion, tone shifts from lazy to spacey as the track transitions from drums/guitar to almost exclusively synth. Well driven by synth buzzing and extremely gritty guitar, some interesting xylophone/tinkling noise intermingled.
5. (3:18) So much lo-fi guitar, to the max. Creates a nitty-gritty feel, very angsty with deep, low vocals.
6. *(3:20) Buzzing guitar, static noise in the background nearly drown out vocals. Some really nice change of pace with a small, unsynthesized plucked guitar solo in the latter half.
7. *(3:39) Same buzzing as the last track, but there's a some nice experimentation sprinkled in with the occasional cowbell and conga drums (?), some overly psychedelic guitar riffs and warped backing vocals that sometimes sound almost ghostly.
8. (4:15) Opening sounds almost like a car starting up (?), then explodes into a messy grunge track. Song shifts almost dramatically to more electronic, robotic vocals and backing beat about halfway through, then shifts again to electro meets initial grunge. Good track, but feels a bit like two-in-one.
9. **(3:45) Same as track 3--no distinct difference except it's a ~radio edit~ and there's no reason to not play it now. Favorite.
