BIOGRAPHY: Le Tigre uses samples, claves, farfisa, a live dj, guitar, voices and beats to make their music. Their sound touches on conceptual garage, digital anthemic, political sadness and unfinished soundtracks. Catchy or danceable moments are complicated by repitition in which flaws become apparant and/or political content challenges "the groove". Their debut, self titled debut album has been hailed as an underground classic all round the world. (Its available in the U.S. on Mr. Lady, the girl oriented albel run by Kaia from Team Dreschh) . Check out the Wiiija only Hot Topic single, with bonus remix and two extra tracks. |
