MP3: Tiger Tape - Skanstull

I never paid too much attention to Moofish Catfish because, let's face it, that name is straight up unappealing. Good thing they changed it to Tiger Tape, I'm just sorry I didn't hear about it sooner because the album they put out in April ("I woke up in Hökarängen", released via Lo and Behold Recordings/Cosy Recordings) is really really good, maybe even a little bit great. Time will tell, but I've been listening regularly for the past fews days and its luster has yet to fade. Also, considering that a good 98% of all indierock bores me to tears, it's worth noting that these ladies do not -- listen for yourself at Bandcamp: http://tigertape.bandcamp.com/
And for the xenoglossophobic, be aware that this is the only tack på Svenska. Tack igen Mathias for the recommendation!
