Less than nine months after Lonely Cities dropped in February, Sydney four-piece Tigertown have returned with Papernote. It’s an upbeat, four-track offering, holding to classic Tigertown pop vibes.
It’s no wonder the title track was picked to be the lead single – Papernote opens with a seriously funky guitar rhythm, instantly commanding attention. The track is on a constant rise, with huge choruses, and an even bigger finish that’ll certainly get your heart going, making it a clear winner on this EP.
Take Me Away offers pumping, playful and arguably jungle vibes. The chorus tries to be an anthem, but falls a bit short with lacklustre lyrics and vocals that don’t quite have enough power behind them. That’s not to say that this isn’t an easy track to bop along to though, there’s certainly a catchy appeal that makes for a fun listen.
What You Do opens with a welcome, slower pace in its glistening strings and vocal combo, before it picks up in heat like the other tracks. Overall, the Papernote EP isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s definitely hitting the punchy pop/dance mark that is without a doubt the Tigertown sound.
