Pint Sized Tiger – El Dorado
Pint Sized Tiger - El Dorado
Release Date: Out Now
Plymouth’s Pint Sized Tiger are
still relatively new kids on the block with only a few gigs under their belt as
a band but that hasn’t stopped them knocking out their debut EP, ‘El Dorado’,
just in time for summer. ‘Forbidden Fruit’ gets things going with chilled out
guitars and a real touch of laid-back summer pop in the vein of Finlay Quaye or
Paolo Nutini. Next, ‘Circles’ has a similar vibe but with the sax up front and a
more funky vibe that will surely go down well at festivals and beach parties
once the sun decides to put in an appearance.
The title track of the EP, ‘El
Dorado’, has the best groove with a slapped bass and saxophone fighting over
which has more funk to bring to the table while the vocals of Olly Parker get a
sexy little growl going and the guitars scratch and skip with infectious
energy. The main part of the EP finishes with ‘Rewind’, a song that has an 80s feel
to it that the laid back guitars and dreamy vocals that demand a slow motion
video with dogs and roll neck sweaters.
The band have then tagged on
three acoustic versions of ‘Forbidden Fruit’, ‘Circles’ and ‘El Dorado’
which
do a great job of showing of the quality of the song writing of these
compositions once the instrumentation is stripped back. Pint Sized Tiger are
the perfect band for that transition from afternoon to evening in the summer
but the question remains; how will they fair on a wet November Tuesday evening
in Stoke?
