You Crazy Dreamers

To be honest, i’m not able to find my way back to cleartigers.com while browsing the web couple days ago, but I’m sure my email address has already been subscribed to their mailing list.  I am eagerly awaiting for their debut full length album.
I’ve found some new information about this band and my curiosity guided me to their contact form asking them a couple of questions.

Here’s the transcript.

YCD : Could you please introduce Clear Tigers ?
Nathan Akin : Clear Tigers is my recording project. My name is Nathan Akin. I live in Brooklyn, New York. I compose music and write songs. I wrote some
songs and recorded them myself at a friend’s studio here in Brooklyn.
Then I recruited some other friends to help me perform the music in
order to promote it. When playing shows, I’m joined by Tim Traynor,
Jeremy Schoenherr-Lachance, David Sanderson, Catherine Herrick, and Lisa Baker.

YCD : Influences ?
Nathan Akin : My influences are Terry Riley, Lightning Bolt, Joni Mitchell, Elliott Smith, Neu, Aphex Twin, techno on the Force Inc label, Spacemen 3, and many others. I also love french composers Faure and of course Debussy.

YCD : What’s on your stereo at the moment ?
Nathan Akin : Right now my stereo’s broken, but I’m listening to Ariel Pink, and I also like Feist.

YCD : Projects ?
Nathan Akin : As for projects, Clear Tigers is definitely planning to release the full length, “Brutal”, later this month.

I’d like to thank Nathan for taking time to answer these questions and allow us to post the two following songs from their first hand-screened eponymous E.P.
