P.M. Tiger aren’t just stylish on the outside. Their absolutely exceptionally produced and slickly performed new single ‘Catfish Motel’ just exudes so much swagger, so much character, and so much suaveness that had me stopping in my tracks to hit replay again and again. There’s something so markedly distinct about it, this unique kerfuffle of synth work alongside punchy indie rock melodies with a blissful falsetto make for this dreamy and punchy medley that’s a sheer delight. The eclectic and genre-defying write Catfish Motel as a piece towards things and moments that are misleading, the superficial exterior misguiding us into believing the mediocre is in someway exceptional.
What’s immediately discernible to me is the sheer quality of the arrangement from back to front. Any indie rock fan, be it an Arctic Monkeys aficionado or an MGMT stan, would find this enjoyable. It combines the best of so many worlds and does so with such slick style and cleanly polished melodies.
