Tiger Dare’s inescapable calm

There’s something strangely hypnotic about Tiger Dare’s sound. It’s floating on water, where every song feels like a breath of fresh air – and God knows we need some fresh air in this city.  Their songs feel good for the soul, often building towards wonderfully uplifting crescendos without losing the mellow.  Lost in a sea of reverb, lead vocalist Henry Freedland captures a personal nostalgia with "Morning After Morning" (streaming):  "When he’s lonely he’s so hopeless/When he’s hopeless he’s so boring/When he’s boring it’s just morning after morning".  The songs take the form of soundscapes, and under the distance there is a calm nostalgia to it all. The Brooklyn band’s debut EP ‘Wires Over, Wired In‘ has been gathering a fair amount of attention, and CMJ just announced them in the official lineup of the upcoming Music Marathon. – Jake Saunders
