Track a Tiger - Avenue of the Giants (2015)

After a four-year hiatus, Chicago based four-piece Track a Tiger have come back onto the scene with their new album ‘Avenue of the Giants’. Originally starting out back in 2003 as a solo recording project of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jim Vallet, the band grew into a live act after the release of debut album ‘Woke Up Early the Day I Died’ in 2006. Since then there has been three more full-length albums and the band has been featured on a number of MTV shows, film trailers and web commercials.

Track a Tiger are certainly an interesting band, they like to fuse folk sentimentalities and instrumentation with an indie rock edge whilst bringing in the occasional synth loop that all comes together to create an atmospheric indie folk sound. ‘Avenue of the Giants’ carries this experimentation on and proves to be an easy-going and enjoyable listen, and a good comeback album for the band.
