To call the special edition of Tiger Fingers' self-titled debut an 'album' is stretching the truth a little. It may run around the one-hour mark and there may be ten tracks, but half the record is dedicated to one track, being their previously released single, Little Drummer Girl, with mixes, remixes and an instrumental version thrown in. The only problem is that these bonus tracks were included as B-sides of the single, so their inclusion is irrelevant for some, but a nice bonus for others. Nonetheless, this is being classified as an album.
Tiger Fingers is the brainchild of Jordan Lieb and Asako Fujimoto, both of whom were also in Dead Radar. What Lieb and Fujimoto have created this time around is a fine example of electronic dance pop at its best. These tracks have been made to be turned up loud and danced to, with driving beats, excellent vocals and highly infectious rhythms. The six original tracks (i.e. not remixes or instrumental versions) on Tiger Fingers are bloody good. Come to think of it, so are the remixes. Where Tiger Fingers really turns on the charm is its ability to be fresh and exciting while maintaining consistency throughout. Each track is different, including the remixes, so don't worry – you won't feel as though you're listening to one hour-long track.
There is only one problem with this album, being that Lieb and Fujimoto have already parted ways. While that's bad news if you love Tiger Fingers, it also helps make it somewhat exclusive, given that it's possible this will be the only album we get from these two, so grab it while you can.
