“Like an alligator driving a Tesla, it (“Bittersweet”) employs old techniques of songwriting and arrangement melded with minimalistic west-coast production ideals. ”
Can you hear your own accent? Maybe not. But in Alabama, you can certainly hear when someone sounds different. Make no mistake about it— Space Tyger is different. And not just for northwest Alabama.
If it must be defined, Space Tyger makes compelling, well-written, irresistible synth-pop. It’s music that takes the sensibilities of Frank Ocean and mixes them with the surreal experimentation of The Flaming Lips. And like the Lips, part of what makes it special is the accent— and the friction— that comes from life in rural America.
