Tiger Mountain - Analog Heads Gone French
Reviewed by erun
It took forever for the stupid computer-lab computer to read Tiger Mountain's Analog Heads Gone French, mostly because the CD is enhanced with a video for their song "Song #3.", which I watched over and over again while waiting for this darn machine to figure out what an audio track was... And the video's pretty neat, I guess... Tiger Mountain remind me of a less spastic Mark Arm, fronting a less drugged-out Rolling Stones, with a less snooty Stroke playing one of the instruments. It's a hodge-podge of sound that comes out, eventually, to be the color orange. The video'd track is fun to listen to, with the half-spit, half-stiff lipped "Come out and read it and weep!" backed by dappling sunshine guitar. "Night Town" is a rock-ramble with some hopeful lyrics backed by bits of harmony, a bit of smooth guitar solor, and bits of toe-tapping beats... But they sound kinda bored half-way through the song... A good sum of parts, Tiger Mountain are cheery and easy to listen to, well schooled in alt.country-ish musicality, and pleasant sounding altogether... But y'know, I listened to this CD the entire time I scoured the internet, and I really had to concentrate on it except for the two songs I mentioned above. Your call. [www.tigermountain.tv]
