I accidentally stumbled across My Tiger My Timing in Dalston last weekend. They were playing their last few songs as I arrived at The Nest and their indie, electro sound immediately caught my attention. As I looked over to the small stage at the back of the dark and dingy East London basement, I could see a blonde figure dancing and singing into a microphone amongst the streams of coloured lights, a venue very well suited to their sound.

After some investigating I found out who they were and realised that I have come across this band name before; My Tiger My Timing played the John Peel stage at Glastonbury festival earlier this year after making it to the finals of the Emerging Talent competition. They are a London based band of 5 and have previously released 3 singles, with their 4th single Written in Red due for release in November and talks of a debut album in early 2012.

My Tiger My Timing – Written In Red by mytigermytiming

Written in Red is an instantly likeable track, it’s bright, poppy & fun. The catchy lyrics and uplifting melody follow you around for hours after you hear it, making it impossible to take life too seriously. I am particularly fond of bands with female vocalists and Anna Vincent has one of those delightfully soft voices that effortlessly serenades your ears as you tap along to the beat. This song isn’t really lacking anything. It’s retro, edgy and addictive. My Tiger My Timing have definitely found themselves a new fan. The single is due for release on November 14th and UK tour dates are below.
