Check out Tiger! Tiger!

Here’s a review (click on the link to read the whole thing) of Tiger! Tiger!’s album “The Kind of Goodnight”:

…You might think that a band led by the drummer of another band known for its surf blues primitivism would be… hmmm, how shall we say, straightforward? But in fact, this is a fairly sophisticated album within its genre, sultry and ass-kicking by turns, but in an unusually intelligent and varied way. There are rockabilly freak-outs (the title track), sax-honking, fanny-wiggling fuck-off songs (”Cheap Imitation”), and soulful 12/8 blues laments (”How Much Can You Take”). There’s a dreamy, jazzy torch song, where Guero sounds about as world-weary and love-damaged as a young woman can (”Two By Two”) and one party-hearty rave-up sung by one of the guys. This latter cut is a total blast whose title just happens to be “Misfortune, Bad Weather and Debt”. (Try it next time you’re under the influence of any or all of the three. I am almost sure it will help.)…

The reviewer even mentions another animal-esque artist in comparison (emphasis mine):

Tiger! Tiger! doesn’t have the toughness, the scariness of girl-fronted bands like the Detroit Cobras or the Paybacks. Instead there’s a nuance, a hint of self-deprecation and humor that makes these songs a little bit more interesting than they have any right to be.
