Tiger Bones, a Chicago-based foursome that includes C-U’s Nick Hagen, will release their debut EP Go Over Here on March 1.
You can listent to/download the lead single “Kill Them” at Tiger Bones’ bandcamp page.
Our own Joel Gillespie interviewed the band before a Champaign show last spring.
More details from their press release:
Recorded by Ponys front man Jered Gummere, the 4-track EP is a curiously uneasy balance of danceable caveman drums, jangley Link Wray-inspired guitars, and moody, layered vocals, all laced with haunting reverb…You’d never expect to get a weirdo-surf-rock vibe out of four dudes from Chicago, but Tiger Bones has achieved a dreamy, disconnected sound that encourages a blissed-out state of being. Their first single, “Kill Them”, fuses shoulder-shaking beats with ominous, paranoid vocals that bring to mind Three Imaginary Boys-era The Cure, Broadcast, and Suicide.
Go Over Here will be released on vinyl through Tiger Bones’ label, Dedd Foxx, and as a free download via digi-label Candy Dinner. The vinyl EP features four original songs and the digital version includes an additional bonus track that cleverly intertwines Harry Nilsson and Joy Division.
