This September 20th, 2013 sees the return of The New Tigers with 2nd album, The Badger (Soliti 017), on cd, vinyl and digital. To whet your appetite for the record listen to new single Remote Control.

UK release date for 'The Badger' December 2nd.


"After the first album The New Tigers played a huge amount of shows in Finland, Scandinavia and the UK, to name but a few places. World and elsewhere. New songs were cooking meanwhile, as was another thing: the line-up change. The beloved drummer Kece was drafted by the United Nations and moved to Geneva in Switzerland. The band found the right man to take his place in no time: Ville Hopponen, the lead guitarist of Cats on Fire is also one helluva drummer! On 'The Badger' the drummers' split duties – you get some of that guaranteed Tiger beat, as well as the new groovy drum stylings. 'The Badger' presents a new wider spectrum of songs. The first album was often compared to sitting next to a jet engine listening to a wonky Walkman. This time it’s more like a hydrocopter, or maybe an amphibious car. The music doesn’t operate only in the air, but also in water and on ice. Lots of glockenspiel was added to the musical soup, as well as different tempos, more varied guitar noodling and and a tiny tiny dash of sophistication."

Chocolate

“The third single from the album 'Do Xao', In The Tall grass”, was made with experimental methods. The verse is sampled from a very old rehearsal jam, interestingly titled Delay Trees. On that we built a soundscape using different percussions, synth bass and a drum sample from another rehearsal​ –​ where Appu, Valtteri and Leif Elverstig jam on “Pretty Young Thing” by MJ. The lyric is very loosely based on the book East Of Eden. Very, very, very loosely that is, given that the writer of the lyrics hasn’t even read part two of those books.”

In The Tall Grass

The New Tigers present Quicksilver, the first song from their second album, due Autumn 2013. Recording of the new album began in october 2012 with the classic New Tigers line-up - but this Spring sees a change as drummer Kece leaves the band in search for spiritual tranquility in Switzerland. While sad to see Kece leave, The Tigers have found the nearly perfect replacement with Ville Hopponen (Cats on Fire). We currently find TNT’s finishing the album and playing shows in London and Stockholm (with more dates to be announced).
