The Republic Tigers: “Buildings & Mountains” (2008)
Kansas City indie band Republic Tigers are one to watch. Like the Shins they make atmospheric and melodic pop with fairly complex arrangements and interesting textures. Their melodies are consistently inventive enough to grow on you over repeated listens–this isn’t throwaway pop.
Their music has been featured on several prime time network TV series including Grey’s Anatomy. Their second full-length release is expected in 2012 and I expect a captivating listen.
