Following on from a series of exceptional singles, Leeds art-rock four-piece Tigers That Talked finally self-release their long awaited debut album “The Merchant”.

Since forming in 2006, singer-songwriter and guitarist Jamie Williams, bassist Owain Kelly, violinist Glenna Larsen and drummer Chris Verney have been patiently and meticulously honing their sound while releasing a series of critically acclaimed singles, picking up fans in Zane Lowe, John Kennedy, and Steve Lamacq along the way.

The result of their fortitude is The Merchant, a truly special debut record. Beautiful and fragile yet uplifting and defiant, The Merchant is a collection of songs that combine the emotional depth associated with art-rock with a pop sensibility that will no doubt appeal to mainstream audiences.

Having extensively and successfully toured the UK for the past three years alongside bands such as Wild Beasts, Micah P Hinson and Broken Records, Tigers That Talked are set to make their live US debut in 2011 with an official invite to showcase at Texas’ South By South West festival. This overseas exposure will allow the band to further expand on a devoted UK fanbase, taking their individual brand of anthemic yet experimental music to a US audience that has already shown a substantial and passionate interest.

    So... are they working on anything new? Great band, just a shame their singer always sounded as though he was fellating cotton wool.
