Last winter, singer/guitarist Dylan Metrano gathered fifteen
friends from the up-and-coming Newburyport, MA music scene and
assembled them into a misfit orchestra and a makeshift choir
to produce the most ambitious Tiger Saw album to date.
Sing!'s tunes were developed while Tiger Saw were on tour
behind their previous and second disc, Gimme Danger/Gimme
Sweetness. The tour, which crossed the United States and Great
Britain, found the band performing at a myriad of unorthodox
venues, from suburban basements and theaters to beaches,
forests, and bonfires. These intimate settings led to
impromptu singalongs with the audience, and night after night
of unforgettable communal experiences.
The ten Tiger Saw songs on Sing! were inspired by these
sing-alongs, written to incorporate a large choir, and
arranged for the album by Clairvoyants' Brian Dunn. They are
linked by themes of friendship, community, nature, and
romance, and compose a song cycle performed by the group of
friends whose shared history and deep connections are revealed
in Metrano's direct and honest lyrics. This album sees core
members Metrano, cellist/vocalist Juliet Nelson (Unbunny, Cul
de Sac) and guitarist John Ryan Gallagher (The Divorced)
joined by pianist Casey Dienel, upright bassist Nat Baldwin
(Dirty Projectors), and drummer Gregg Porter (Unbunny, Little
Wings, Hotel Alexis). As on Gimme Danger, substantial
contributions are made by slide guitarist and banjo player
blindbanjodjim (Milkweed) and Jason Anderson (Wolf Colonel,
The Microphones). And also featured are the voices of Nikole
Beckwith, Alan Bull, Lindsay Clark, Kryce Clayton, Brian Dunn,
and Mary Fahey.
Sing! reveals Tiger Saw evolving from the melancholy, slowcore
roots of their earlier years toward a celebratory and joyous,
yet still tender sound.
