The Tiger & Me Mesmerise With “Adrift in Time”

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.

The Tiger & Me Impress with Double A-Side Single

As I race towards the weekend I’m always dragging my feet. It takes something special to get me exciting, but The Tiger & Me have done it with their double A-side single “So Let It Go/The Little and Lost.”

The songs have got a melodic pop center but they’re wrapped up in something much darker and more interesting. “So Let it Go” is epic and anthemic, while “The Little and Lost” shows a much quieter and more reflective side of the band. The songs come from The Howling Fire, the first of an ambitious series of three EPs for the band. The recordings will chart one person’s journey into madness and back out to sanity again. It sounds fascinating, and when a concept so interesting is backed up with great music I’m all ears.

If you are too you can catch the band at the following shows in the near future, including their EP launch at The Toff and a string of dates for the Melbourne Cabaret Festival.

9 July 2011 – The Toff in Town, Melbourne (with Sal Kimber and the Rolling Wheel)
22-24 July 2011 – Melbourne Cabaret Festival, Melbourne (with The Nymphs)
30 July 2011 – The Wheatsheaf Hotel, Adelaide (with Cheer Advisory Council)
5 August 2011 – The Wrong Crowd, Geelong
20 August 2011 – The Basement, Sydney (with Peregrine and Evan & The Brave)
