Soft Tigers - A collection of callers-in call out the shout-outs on an early-morning hip-hop radioshow, aroused schoolies frolic on the banks of a river, a drunken teenaged dance is marshalled into line by an unimpressed teacher, and an icecream-van driver hawks his frozen wares. Crickets chirp, keyboards squirt, hands clap, guitars hit bung notes. Production flutters from lo-fi to no-fi, electro-pop to hip-hop, house to tropicalismo. Sometimes all in a single song. So it goes in the world of Soft Tigers, where nothing —least of all traditional songform— is musically sacred.

Listen old Soft Tigers interview!

Soft Tigers released their first album "Gospel Ambitions" on Below Par Records. Gospel Ambitions moves through genres at an alarming rate, switching styles with every track, making the band's sound almost impossible to pin down. Soft Tigers genuinely seem to be one of those rare bands that melt together creativity, ability and pop sensibility in an interesting and appealing way.
