Lyrics by Patrick Fitzroy

Lying awake, the darkened corners of my room
Keep me awake, I felt their stares on me all night through
Now years have passed, but still it haunts me when I sleep
All in my dreams, I hear these whispers turn to screams

But I can't hear voices at all
No one's here, and nothings wrong
But I feel so weightless

It's in my head, but who said monsters can't be real
They're in my sights, I see their talons at my side
With every hour, I try my hardest just to sleep
With every hour, a motion seen with squinting eyes

But slowly does it, slowly i know that
they'll come back for me someday

but i'm not scared anymore (of you)

(I'm projecting my anger, you won't hear a sound
i'll huff and i'll puff and i'll burn your house down)

Queer Indie-Rock 🦑🌌

My Tiger My Timing was a five-piece synth pop band from New Cross in south-east London, formed in 2008 by Anna Vincent (vocals/synth), James Vincent (guitar/bass), Jamie Harrison (guitar/bass), Gary Drain (drums) and Seb Underhill (synth).  

Having previously played in local indie/post-punk groups The Total Drop and The Roaring Twenties, the members combined forces to embrace a more pop-centric sensibility, taking their name from the title of a song by New York experimental musician Arthur Russell, whose melancholic, heartfelt approach to electronic music was one on their early influences.

The band's debut singles This Is Not the Fire and I Am the Sound were produced by Andy Spence of New Young Pony Club and released in 2009 as part of the I Am the Sound EP, alongside two B-sides produced by Hot Chip's Joe Goddard.  The tracks featured on several compilations, including Kitsuné Maison Compilation 8 and Modular's 'Leave Them All Behind III' and the band also contributed a cover of Arm Around You to A Tribute to Arthur Russell which came on the Electric Minds label that year.

Following tours in the UK and Europe, and a run of festival appearances, including a slot on the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury Festival in 2011, the band released third single Endless Summer through their own Snakes & Ladders label. The track was playlisted by BBC 6 Music and XFM and paved the way for a new, more live-influenced sound, with the band taking on production duties in the studio.

In November 2011, they released a fourth single, Written in Red with The Gold Rush following in June 2012 ahead of the release of debut album Celeste in July 2012. Final single Let Me Go was released in November 2012 and was named Single of the Week on BBC 6 Music.

The band is on indefinite hiatus as of 2014.  Anna Vincent and James Vincent went on to form dream-rock band Heavy Heart and Gary Drain, Jamie Harrison, and Seb Underhill now perform as Glowing Sun.
