Artist: Miniature Tigers
Album: Tell It To The Volcano
Label: Modern Art Records
Release Date: Late 2008
This is the 2nd of three Phoenix acts in the Top 15 Albums of 2009 and the 1st of two bands off Modern Art Records to make the list. This label was started by band members of Chronic Future and their talent seeking abilities amazes me with this album being a prime example.
Do you remember Beck's Mellow Gold album? The one that was released in 1994 and had the Top Ten single Loser? This Miniature Tiger album reminds me a lot of early Beck. Tell It To The Volcano is cleverly written and light-hearted. It's "indie pop" at its best!
The calming vocals of Charlie Brand mixed with the relaxing music and catchy melodies makes this the perfect coffee shop soundtrack (thanks All Time Low). This album would be loved by a fan of Beck, The Beatles or Death Cab For Cutie.The album is definitely playable from front to back without skipping a "filler" track. The album's strongest song The Wolf has yet to be released (not sure if there are plans for its release) and isn't even on their MySpace player. I added it to the LaLa player below so make sure you check it out. But The Wolf can easily be heard on every alt rock station during rush hour traffic and maybe even crack some Top 40 stations. I even included it as one of my songs of the week back in early August. Other strong songs include Cannibal Queen which made MTVu rotation, Tell It To The Volcano and Giraffe.
Yes, the album was released in 2008 but the band has been getting most of their album attention in 2009, including tours with Ben Folds and Say Anything. This album could even have legs deep into 2010.
