LES
TIGRES
It begins with playful handclaps, then charming indie-rock vocals. It builds
to a West African-influenced polyrhythmic bedrock and bright, chiming,
highlife-style guitar work. This is “Science Camp,” the de facto lead single off
Some Friends Feel Like Family, the 2015 release from Santa Barbara’s Ghost
Tiger.
On paper, this formula seems a bit like Vampire Weekend. And in reality,
that’s not far off: a fun mashup of brainy college rock, dance music and Afro-
pop — a musical influence that dials back a bit on the rest of Some Friends,
but can always be heard clearly in the sunny, clear and cutting tone of lead
guitarist Christopher Norlinger.
“Our bass player [Kevin Evans] was in a marimba ensemble and is inspired
by African rhythms so that came through on some of the songs on the EP,”
writes vocalist Alixandra Macmillan-Fiedel from the road. “We have many
backgrounds in the group from self-taught to classically trained to jazz.”
Macmillan-Fiedel is central to Ghost Tiger’s sound; her voice is moody and
atmospheric with range and well-timed gusto, evoking at times Johnette
Napolitano of Concrete Blonde.
Her range shows in the indie rock-meets-’50s-weeper “More Than Enough,”
and in general her voice holds together what at times is a strong but
stylistically scattered set of tunes. Over the course of a mere seven tracks,
just when you’ve got Ghost Tiger pegged, the band quickly changes on you.
Elsewhere, the polyrhythms return with “Covered in Gold,” a track that
shows Ghost Tiger at their best: bristling with complex musical ideas,
expressive guitar work, Macmillan-Fiedel’s luxuriant pipes and a clear and
poignant vision.
This is the time to catch Ghost Tiger; this will be the band’s last stop on the
Some Friends Feel Like Family tour.
Ghost Tiger plays with Eugene’s Pluto the Planet and Bend’s Wilderness
