Synopsis

Album Description

With this CD, Le Tigre picks up where they left off- buzzing guitars, chaotic gang vocals, low resolution samples and programmed beats reference their punk history and point the way to a feminist future without genre loyalties. While still taking full advantage of the rough edges, Le Tigre's new songs are more structurally ambitious if not slicker. Political rage and activist disillusionment remain explicit and/or buried lyrical themes, but danceable beats and experimentation keep it weirdly unjaded. Mr. Lady Records.

CD Reviews

Delicious!

"Another wonderful offering from Le Tigre! They continue to put out their unique "low-fi" tunes with punk edges. The process of making this work was painstaking. Check out mrlady.com for FAQ's. Using a "clueless male" voice in the songs was a nice touch reminiscent of the song "White Boy" of early Bikini Kill. Strong "thinking" lyrics and the totally fresh sound of Le Tigre's music makes this MUST have!"

Le tigre: this drum machine died and went to heaven

"Le Tigre is my very favorite band right now, thanks to this new record and seeing them live in NYC recently. If there is an unsung masterpiece out there right now, this is it. I was so excited when I saw this at the acursed virgin megastore when it was released that I bought it then and there, without a single complaint about commercializing record buying experiences or whatever. My roommate and I rocked out to this album all the way through finals. This album restores my faith in music made after 1998. With all of the lewd, reprehensible, sound-alike shock rap on the charts, it's great to hear something so fresh and relevant and proactive. Le Tigre is my favorite Kathleen Hanna project yet. Just buy it already, k?"

As good or better!

"The new ep from le Tigre, From the Desk of Mr. Lady, is as good or better then their first self titled release. The first song, (ironically enough as you're reading this)"Get off the interne"t is a bouncy scream fest; "Get off the internet!, I'll meet you in the street."The whole thing is a rockin', danceable, battle cry."
