The New Tigers

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."

Remote Control

The first taste of The New Tigers Vindication EP comes in the form of the EP's lead track Visions

"The song was crafted like a puzzle. It's about the inevitability of faults and that the best thing one can get from someone else is the dissolving of self." comment The Tigers.

Taken from Vindication EP out on the 29th April 2016

The New Tigers : Visions

The New Tigers:  Chewing Gum

The summer is officially over and before the snow falls we are excited to present you the first taste of The New Tigers forthcoming third album.

The New Tigers return with the unexpected pop nous of ‘Three Shadows’. The song is an unabashedly instant wheeze, with shifting synth and guitar hooks; melodies melt together creating a window to a dancing-pop-tune mixed with a more experimental synth psyche feel. Appu Jasu's vocals assuredly guide us through a sweet sensation. Listen ‘till the end, you’ll get a glimpse of something unexpected! 'Three Shadows' is the first taster from The New Tigers third long player which will arrive in 2018. 

The song will be out via all digital services on the 27th of October.

The New Tigers : Three Shadows

The New Tigers announce new album Do Xao, share new single 'Domino'

Do Xao is released on the 20th April via Soliti

The New Tigers gave us some advance warning that new activity from the band was upon us with the release late last year of the six minute plus wonder that was 'Three Shadows'. Now we give you the fully fledged confirmation that Do Xao, the third album from Turku's most famous feline's will be with us very soon- the 20th April 2018 via Soliti. 

To warm you even more to the delights contained within Do Xao, The New Tigers share new single 'Domino'. a bright, shiny jewel of guitar pop with one foot on the mid-tempo dance floor – "Lights will go off /if we don’t move / and Music will stop/ if we don’t groove /and Gravity wins - unless we take off right now" the band tell us over the most sublime melodic chorus. This is pop music - make no mistake.


Album launch show April 27th at Korjaamo Helsinki (+ Puunhalaaja)

The New Tigers : Domino (Single Edit)

“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.”
