Twin Tigers announce tour!

Releasing Curious Faces/Violet Future on June 10th, 2008!

Athens, Georgia's newest band, Twin Tigers, channel a sound like that of the Liars, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Deerhunter. Their debut EP, Curious Faces/Violet Future will be self-released on June 10th, 2008.

Twin Tigers formed during the fall of 2007 when Matthew Rain and Aimee Morris began writing songs in their basement. Psychedelic, acousmatic and tape music are all used to describe the sound of Twin Tiger's music. And Friends, the short-lived project of Enoch, Richard and Aimee, had abruptly ended and it appeared as though things with Matthew’s band Psychic Hearts were dissolving. After a few weeks of trying to write songs as a two-piece, Enoch and Richard came to the house to play around, and listen to some of the songs Aimee and Matthew had been writing. Richard got behind the drums, Enoch brought a guitar, and Aimee picked up a bass. Practices soon became a regular occurrence, and they started writing the first Twin Tigers songs. After playing nearly every day for a month they decided to book their first show at the Caledonia Lounge on December 5, 2007.

In December, Twin Tigers recorded their debut EP with Joel Hatstat of the Athens band PegasusesXL. Built out of lush guitar, textured percussion and layered vocals the quartet reached for something new together. Believing the future is theirs; the rest is to be continued.
