Tiny Fingers release instrumental live-set “MEGAFAUNA”

Tiny Fingers has already made people standup and take notice with their 2011 release ”Massive Fingers Spacetrip” which deservedly got the band attention in their native Israel. Earlier this year they followed it up with “Foreign Telegrams“, an album conceived and recorded in one intense session.

The genre hopping outfit continue their prolific spree re-emerging last month with what is surely their most ambitious project to date. Recorded in a single take, ”MEGAFAUNA” shows a band that clearly thrives in the pressure cooker environment of the studio delivering a brilliant dose of post-rock and electronic sounds with grooves the size of the Grand Canyon.

Whilst their music will undeniably be a little heavy for some there is a keen sense of melody throughout the project bringing to mind a cross between Planes Mistaken For Stars and The Mars Volta. The latter is not a completely casual reference as the El Paso superstars hand-picked Tiny Fingers as their support act during their israeli tour.

With dates in New York City for CMJ already under their belt and plans for a US and Scandinavian tour you can expect Tiny Fingers will continue to rise and judging by their recent output will likely surprise us with at least a couple more genre-bending releases in 2013.

MEGAFAUNA” is out now and will be released via YouTube in its entirety with the three-piece promising further track leaks in the next few weeks.

Weekend Videos: Friends – ‘I’m His Girl’

Here is the new video for Friends‘  infectious ‘I’m His Girl’ track co-directed by by Aurora Halal and lead singer Samantha Urbani.

It’s the perfect companion piece boasting a good dose of retro flair thanks to some lo-fi camera work and 80′s transitions  and coming across equally as sassy, cool and confident as the track itself.

If you were at CMJ this week then you may have caught Brooklyn band at one of their numerous performances over the week. If you missed that there’s a bunch of upcoming US and UK dates for you to get your posterior shaking at.

I’ve had this on repeat for a bit and it never gets old. There is a possibility that next time you ask someone  ‘hey, have your heard that Friends track?‘ they won’t think you are referring to the sitcom’s theme tune.
