...according to our on 06 August 2008.

My record of the week would win simply by virtue of being a picture disc covered with a collage of painted cats. It's simply the BEST picture disc I've ever held in my life. It's one for the cat lover in your life as it's such a bizarre item it goes beyond tacky and into the realm of uber-artifact. Oh....the music I hear you rasp! The music sounds to Brett's ears like Pussy Galore with a healthy litter tray of Coachwhips thrown in (fresh, not "used"), a sonic meow of trashed out, amped up fuzz, a hairball of scuzzy, scrawly rock that leaps out and claws your face off. There's a real furry (sic) to this music, no-fi, feral and aloof. It's by So So Many White White Tigers and really needs to be in your parcel this week even if you suspect the music might be a right fucking dirge. Oh Anthony's just suggested I got the speed wrong. It's a 45rpm-er LP so it now sounds like Melt Banana crossed with Be Your Own Pet in a dirty blender. The cat's arse. Against Sleep And Forest is on Weird Forest.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

San Francisco-based rock band So So Many White White Tigers play bad-energy, propulsive, off-timed noise skree with lots of ballsy guitar moves and dysfunctional vocal shrieks and squeals from Liza that are sure to sting and cause infection. Gerald lays waste to the drums and guitarist Ned positively shreds the strings. Garage-y punk and chunks of mammoth wall of noise, like if Harry Pussy made rock songs or something. Whatever it is, one thing's for sure — something just ain't right with these kids. So So Many White White Tigers were born to come to your town and freak you out. Recorded by Mr. Chris Woodhouse. And we're not just saying it's good: the band was picked as a Bay Area Best by the SF Chronicle and the packaging, designed by Aaron Winters at Abide Visuals, was recognized as one of 2005's best designs in HOW magazine's International Design Annual
