Elegant Tiger

...As their exceptional name suggests, this Austin four-piece (who formerly went by Shapescenes ) incorporates the most refined stripes of alt-rock, new wave, shoegaze, and synthpop into their brand of aural camouflage. Though it’s not like Elegant Tiger just dragged ’em all in and let ’em out of the bag; there’s an undeniable sophistication to Elegant Tiger’s ability to keep these combinations skulking through the jungle of genres without making them sound slapped together. I mean, rainforest-dense electronic elements rubbing up against anthemic vocal melodies and atmospheric guitar with four players cooperating harmoniously instead of trying to claw their way to the top of this intimate ambush? It’s…well…elegant to say the least... - Jack Anderson - KUTX
