MY TIGER MY TIMING

ENDLESS SUMMER

SINGLE RELEASED AUGUST 1ST 2011 ON DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

GLASTONBURY – JOHN PEEL STAGE + LONDON WARM UP SHOW AT THE GARAGE

My Tiger My Timing formed in London in 2008. They were described by The Guardian as “deliciously upbeat and groove-laden post-punk” and by Clash as “alternative pop with a dark heart that’s bursting with desire”, and were recently named Beck’s European Newcomer 2010, CMJ’s Spotlight Artist and NME’s Breakthrough Artist of the Week.

The band have released two singles – This Is Not The Fire and I Am The Sound – and an EP, with material produced by New Young Pony Club and Hot Chip, released through Kitsuné, Pure Groove and Modular Records.

Inspired by rainy grey holidays spent in the city, wishing back to the never-ending summers of the past, the band’s third single combines irresistible schoolyard singsong with hypnotic drums, shimmering electronics and angular guitars, to create a perfect slice of modern leftfield pop. The band are currently finishing their debut album, with Endless Summer released on August 1st.
