MP3: Echo Is Your Love - Lion tamer versus tigers

"Lion tamer vs. tigers" is easily the most pop thing that Echo Is Your Love has ever done. They've still got the noiserock dissonance and artrock sensibilities that define them, but the songwriting is much more structured and concise. It's also got a great postpunk discobeat, perfect for the Boys of Scandinavia remix that wraps up the EP. Why BoS excised the chorus from said track baffles me though; that's the bit that makes the song. They tease you with it a few times in the beginning, giving a quick taste before hammering it home on repeat at the end, leaving it ringing in your ears. It's still the classic tried and true verse/chorus/verse formula, but far less obvious and far more smart. Also, while I can certainly appreciate EIYL's experimentalism, it doesn't always hold up so well to repeated listens. This track does. I'm looking forward to see what they do next.

If Society has a brand new mp3 from Echo Is Your Love posted for free download: http://www.ifsociety.com/files/Echo%20Is%20Your%20Love%20-%2001%20-%20Lion%20Tamer%20vs.%20Tigers.mp3
Said song is the title track of the band's forthcoming EP "Lion tamer vs tigers", due out on April 23. As mentioned last month, the EP will contain three new tracks plus a rerecording of an old song and a remix by labelmates Boys of Scandinavia.

Finnish noiserockers Echo Is Your Love will celebrate their 10-year anniversary this year with the release of a new EP in April and a new full-length in autumn. The latter is still in the planning stages, but the EP will feature three new tracks, a remade old song and a remix by fellow Finns Boys of Scandinavia (who happen to be currently working on their own new album, something that I'm really looking forward to). The band also hopes to post all of their out-of-print material for free download (some already available here) and should have samples of the new stuff up around March.
