Listening Post - Three Trapped Tigers 'Route One Or Die' (Blood And Biscuits, 2011) (Stream)

You can now stream the whole of the Three Trapped Tigers album - 'Route One Or Die' - ahead of its much-anticipated (by me, anyway) release on May 30th.

An bright, seamless fusion of electronics and live band post-rock/math-rock stylings that delivers on the promise of their first three EPs and maintains some spectacular intensity.

It embraces electronic sound in the same was as the likes of Fridge and Oval but has a more organic, full-band feel like Foals with the aggression of 65DaysofStatic or Shellac.

The closest marker for the Three Trapped Tigers album is probably US math-rock genii Battles who oddly enough have their second album 'Gloss Drop' - their first without Tyondai Braxton - out the following week on Warp.

'Route One Or Die' is available to pre-order over at the Blood And Biscuits website.
