Tiger Waves (James and Reid) are a Postal Service-style effort. They crafted and produced their melodic, lo-fi, surf-influenced tunes through interwebs file sharing and emailing. The two collaborated on fragments of punchy, reverb-filled numbers and added layers of melody from separate locations in Austin and Chicago. That's right ... a true bedroom recording produced in two separate bedrooms with only the interwebs in between.
The result is a wonderful marriage of lo-fi reverb with surf punch and jangle. The bedroom production adds an appropriate amount of garage, while the melodic layering (not too thick mind you) keeps the riffs generally clean (with intentional exceptions on some numbers) and discernible below the vocals. Enjoy, and squabble after the break.
