Fond Of Tigers

Looking for that post-rock fix and can't find anything to fit the bill? Every instrumental post-rock recording sounding like the same old thing over and over? Look no further.
Fond Of Tigers are just the ticket. They are coming from more of a "free jazz" place than a "rock" place, but don't let the four-letter word "jazz" make you think it's gonna be sans balls, because these motherfuckers rock like demons. The songs are very vamp-y, with lots of intricate ostinatos happening (4 bars of 6, then a bar of 7 thrown in) and other brainy, artsy bullshit that would be annoying if it didn't make such complete musical sense. They have a massive sound, employing 2 drum sets, bass, guitars, violin, trumpets, electronics, the whole kitchen sink. All the tracks flow perfectly together to make for one very rewarding continuous listen.

I know of two releases: Release the Saviours and A Thing To Live With.
I prefer the latter; it just seems to all come together in a very special way, like chocolate and peanut butter.

And just look at that cover:
