Style: Alternative/Indie Rock/Punk

For fans of: Elliott Smith, Low, Yo La Tengo

Perfect For: Films, TV programs or spots, and corporate branded projects needing atmospheric indie pop/rock. Also good for projects needing catchy and dreamy music with mixed vocal harmonies, strings and beats.

Dynamically spirited and sonically vibrant doesn't always mean loud guitars, especially if you're the atmospheric indie-pop and electro-textured slowcore outfit known as Track A Tiger. Fresh off the heels of their critically-acclaimed We Moved Like Ghosts, this band isn't resting on their laurels one bit, right off their Deep Elm Records debut. Deeply engaging and undeniably subtle with crushing boy-girl harmonies, sparkling keyboard effects and a wall of twinkling electronic sound, Track a Tiger is back with the fantastically named, I Felt The Bullet Hit My Heart. Cool to the touch, the aptly titled album saunters through twelve tracks of soul-numbing sweetness with Sandy Kim's falsetto in Don't Let The Nightlight Dance, which is downright charming. Dreamy indie-pop for you and yours? Bingo. The band keeps picking up comparisons to mega stars in the indie-rock world such as Yo La Tengo, Low, American Analog Set and Iron and Wine, because there is a genuine experimental quality to their highly creative, polished, lo-fi sound. The band's clever songwriting, ingenious arrangements and intricate instrumentation are not only pleasing to the ear, but also the psyche.

Instrumentals available as well as the vocal tracks.

Dealing in equal parts visceral punk, splintering math rock and kinetic pop, Dartz bring the noise. It's a fun, riotous listen with genuine heart and intriguing complexities. It's not often that words like "discordant" and "melodic" are thrown about in the same sentence, but the band's willingness to let loose with raucous dance-punk abandon while delving into more adventurous, angular soundscapes -- all without losing sight of each song's irresistible hook and propulsive beat -- makes for a cohesive and addictively explosive good time. Instantly captivating and undeniably enduring, This Is My Ship keeps an animated pace throughout its twelve exuberant tracks. Songs like "Prego Triangolos" and "St. Petersburg" give you an idea of which dynamic, spiky Q and Not U-esque school of indie rock these boys attend, but the handclaps and catchy hooks on cuts like "Once, Twice, Again!" remind us that, first and foremost, the band is here to make you move. Still, pigeonholing Dartz as anything other than an extremely intelligent, complex and exciting band would be doing them an injustice. Off-kilter riffs and catchy choruses rip a melodic groove into your brain while intersecting instrumental passages are compelling enough to keep the hipsters zigging and the punkers zagging. Make no mistake: This Is My Ship is a phenomenal release...one of the most memorable, enjoyable debuts in recent history.
