Last month, Leeds outfit Tigers That Talked dropped their latest EP Black Heart, Blue Eyes (on Bad Sneakers Recods), which is perfect next step for a band. Their melodramatic folk pop isn't any better than on the title track, showing a band that is rising far beyond their influences.

This is a Leeds group that has flown under our radar until very recently, but it seems as though all of the right people in England have been paying attention to them. Their recent single "23 Fears" has received nods of approval from Steve Lamacq, Zane Lowe, Radio 1, and Q Radio while the band is busy prepping their debut album. First time listeners will notice similarities to Elbow and the Arcade Fire, but the band puts their own mystical spin on the formula. The band has relocated to a chapel in Lincolnshire with Adam Noble (the Guillemots), and while they still in midst of recording, expect the finish product sometime later this year.
