Album Description2009 release. For Phoenix based Miniature Tigers, there is not a more appropriate band name. Their songs are small-scale epics. Tiny but powerful, fragile but ferocious. They are miniature tigers. Miniature Tigers combine influences ranging from The Beatles to The Beach Boys, from Pinkerton to Indiana Jones, creating infectious, pitch perfect indie-pop that boldly wears its heart on its sleeve. In the world of Miniature Tigers, songs of unrequited love and relationship anxiety are transformed with animal metaphors and translated into gripping adventure narratives populated by vikings, swashbucklers, gunfighters, cannibals, undersea creatures, and dinosaurs.
