Melbourne quartet The Tiger & Me has given me chills with new single “Adrift in Time.” It’s an atmospheric piece of modern folk with some of the most haunting harmonies you’ll ever here. Deceptively simple, it’s bound to get under your skin.
Inspired by the literary works of Yeats and Tolstoy, the song tells the story of a man desperate to reach his lover through the masks that distort and disorientate in this modern world. It’s the first new music we’ve had since lead singer-songwriter Ade Vincent took a two-year hiatus from The Tiger & Me to work as Young Composer in Residence for the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. No doubt that experience helped shape much of the band’s new music to come.
