THOMAS TANTRUM
ALBUM OUT TODAY AND ACOUSTIC VERSION OF ‘(TICK TOCK) SATIE’
(Stranger Records)
“Thomas Tantrum’s second offering is more refined, siren-led indie that could battle it out with the likes of Anna Calvi & Florence” – NME
“Thomas Tantrum understand that you have to up your game, move forward, explore the limits of your abilities.” 8/10 – Drowned in Sound
“‘Hot Hot Summer’ is a slice of sun-kissed guitar-pop full of rattling guitars and catchy hooks” – Artrocker
Almost three years after the release of their debut album, Thomas Tantrum are back with their follow-up album ‘Mad By Moonlight’ and we have an acoustic performance of album track ‘Tick Tock (Satie)’ for you!
Check out this acoustic version of ‘Tick Tock (Satie)’ here, performed by Megan and Dave from the band.
A new drummer, matured vocals and a change in musical direction later h ‘Mad By Moonlight’, a polished, melodic indie-pop affair complete with influences from The Cure, The B52’s and The Sugarcubes to name but a few.
Containing the singles ‘Sleep’ , ‘Hot Hot Summer’ and numerous references to female insanity and insomnia, each song is effortlessly wrapped in dream-like sonic cotton wool. Boosted even further by frontwoman Megan Thomas‘ stunning vocals, the band have been reborn with sharp lyrics, perfect pop melodies and catchy hooks.
The dream-theme continued beyond the album’s recording with the band re-moulding ‘Hot Hot Summer’ into this sublime and virtually unrecognisable version of the track.
