Released March 23rd, 2018 on Behind The Beat Records, France will be a psychedelic folk pop ride with a strong melodic movement. Recorded between Dublin & Melbourne and co produced with Shane O'mara at Yikesville in Melbourne, it promises to be a rewarding listen.

Hobart's Tiger Choir make noisy electronic pop music that captures the swagger, fear and confidence of four wide-eyed Tasmanians realising the infinite possibilities of the world outside of their island home. Since coming together in 2009, they’ve released both a self-titled EP as well as a debut LP, Unicycles, toured Australia and New Zealand – playing with the likes of Deerhunter, The Drums, Courtney Barnett, The Preatures and Holy Fuck! As well as gracing the stages of Falls Festival, Camp a Low Hum, Dark Mofo and A Festival Called Panama. 
Whist their earlier work drew upon a sample-based sound with prickly guitars and shouted choruses, the two intervening years spent traveling, living overseas, dealing with death and major breakups and a changing line-up have lead to a leaner, darker, more mature sound. To record their sophomore release the band holed up in a valley above Hobart before heading to Melbourne to mix with Simon Lam (I’lls, Klo) and master with Andrei Eremin.

Vacant Space tries to invent new music machines without any formal training, and attempts to compose music in that realm of informality. But may ultimately learn that music, like god, is a humanistic phenomenon and, like evolution, must in some way follow what has come before. Quietly he hopes to bring order to the senses and fit into this wonderful experience he struggles to know as the moment, playing the perfect song and realising his dreams through the sound.  

The music of Summerleas is a pure and honest reflection of the places and relationships that have brought him thus far. His distinct voice weaves lyrics in and around syncopated rhythms from country and folk to rock and blues to create his unique sound.

The son of a dancer and a photographer, he was born in Sydney and grew up in Tasmania. It wasn't until the later stage that his life started to gravitate towards music and he began to acquire instruments and equipment. The death of his Mother before his 21st birthday saw him turn his focus to song writing to help deal with his grief and express his feelings.

In 2006, pursuing his interests lead him back to his place of birth, Sydney to study his art and continue to develop as a musician and progress his song writing. It was a series of events that included living and working in Melbourne and Canada that triggered a prolific writing period.

Returning home to Tasmania in 2009 with a wealth of material and experience he collaborated with a long term friend and formed rock duo, 'The Convicts.' The band played shows through out Tasmania during 2010, it was at this time when Summerleas was invited to participate in the first ever Australian University music degree for singer/songwriters. He is now fine tuning his craft and will use this space to document his progress and performances.

Melodic pop from beyond the fourth dimension.
