A maverick work from the UK in the 90s, where noisy construction and loose rhythms coexist.
The lo-fi guitar and repetitive rhythms create a unique floating feeling. The mix of post-grunge distortion and pop sensibilities reflects the indie spirit of the time.
The rough texture of the guitar and the discrepancies in rhythm create an unsettling groove that is unique. Tiger's music is appealing in its calculated roughness, with inorganic drums intertwining with floating melodies. Even within alternative rock, it is highly experimental, and its sound image sets it apart from mainstream Britpop. The vocals are perfectly spaced, and the gaps in sound create tension. The repetition of the rhythm in "Windscreen" is addictive, inviting the listener to a strange pleasure. This is an album that deserves to be reevaluated as a distinctive work from the late '90s UK scene.
