Tigers Jaw - Two Worlds

Accurately named Two Worlds, Tigers Jaw's second full-length production blends the advantages of their bare, minimalist soundscapes and dynamic grunge-rock rhythms, forming a melodic, dark and brilliantly focused album. Unafraid of shunning typical pop patterns, the tracks fluctuate freely with the band experimenting with new hues and textures. Planted in the '90s Midwestern emo vibe, Two Worlds fuses elements of Superchunk's indie-punk sound, Weezer's dissonant pop tunes, and parts of Kurt Cobain's creativity while maintaining its originality. Chimey, clean guitars intersect with gain guitars full of heavy grime.
