Single Review – Tigers that Talked – Artificial clouds

Tigers that Talked are brilliant. Their sound has been compared to the likes of  Arcade Fire and Ryan Adams but their sound is much more progressive and sincere. They are based in Leeds consisting of singer/guitarist Jamie Williams, violinist Glenna Larsen, bassist Owain Kelly and drummer Chris Verney. The new single Artificial Clouds is the best so far from their debut album The Merchant. That says a lot as 23 Fears and Black Heart, Blue Eyes are both mesmerising slices of music.

Artificial Clouds has all the elements of a great song – excellent vocals, an incredible melody, it’s lyrically beautiful and leaves you craving more as soon as it finishes. A band definitely to look out for.
