Fear of Tigers: Cossus Snufsigalonica


Damn, I hope I spelled the name of that album right.


Fear of Tigers is a nice fellow out of the UK that has a knack for putting together some extremely catchy electronic music of the "Valerie" variety (and outperforming Valerie veterans like Anoraak and Minitel Rose while he's at it too, IMO...). This guy is an absolutely stellar producer, and I have no doubt in my mind that he is going to be front page news within the year, and all the pop stars are going to want him to make their music for them. That being said, I'm a little late to this party.

Cossus Snufsigalonica was released December 2009, and is (no joke) back-to-back perfect 10s and a solid and coherent presentation from cover to cover. I might sound like an ass saying this, but I don't usually expect this level of cohesion from song to song on an electro album, particularly when the style has such a pleasant level of variety to it. Seriously, this album is brilliant.

Here's the best part: It's free.

I'm not talking *nudgenudge*winkwink* free, I mean he is actually giving the whole album away to anyone who goes to download it off his facebook. What a great guy!

Instead of a link to samples on YouTube...here is the whole freakin' album!!!! Go listen and have fun!
