Release via Silver Music Machine / Pure Groove October 19th 2009 Download / CD EP
My Tiger My Timing are Anna Vincent, James Vincent, Jamie Harrison, Gary Drain and Seb Underhill, and formed in 2008 in south east London. After the release of their first single earlier this year - the hypnotic, dark alt pop number ‘This Is Not The Fire’ - they return with second single‘I Am The Sound’ out October 19th through Silver Music Machine. The single will also feature live favourite ‘The Distance’, a dark and dirty remix by Hook & The Twin and a stomping disco remix by May68.
Produced by New Young Pony Club 's Andy Spence, ‘I Am The Sound’ is about choosing passion over fear and shows a band progressing at a startling rate, with each member layering vocals, nods to New Order, The Stone Roses and Blur and a universal lyric which will prove that pop music can still be a uniting and meaningful force.
To coincide with the single, the five-piece will also be releasing a limited edition EP on Pure Groove (previous releases by Mystery Jets, Little Boots, Patrick Wolf). The EP will feature ‘I Am The Sound’, ‘This Is Not The Fire’, other exclusive tracks, interludes and specially designed artwork and has been designed to run as one full length track – this is also set for release on October 19th.
Since releasing ‘This Is Not The Fire’ earlier this year, the band have added synth player Seb Underhill to their fold, worked with Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and become a frequent fixture on the live scene, playing gigs across London and the UK supporting Golden Silvers, Yo Majesty and The Invisible amongst others.
Named after an Arthur Russell track, My Tiger My Timing have recently recorded a version of his song ‘Arm Around You’for a covers album on the Electric Minds label. With lots of fans at radio (BBC Radio One and Two, Xfm, BBC 6 Music), and having contributed to Modular’s recent ‘Leave Them All Behind Vol 3’ compilation, French label Sisterphunk’s ‘Sisters EP’ and the forthcoming Kitsune 8 sampler, 2009 is shaping up to be the year of the Tiger.
