Sherpa The Tiger "Great Vowel Shift" 12"

Sherpa The Tiger "Great Vowel Shift" 12" Pink vinyl

Sherpa The Tiger are a new band hailing from Lviv, Ukraine. With an arsenal of cheap, decrepit Soviet synthesisers, the four-piece combine a love of minimalist ambient music and the kosmische grooves that came pumping out of Eastern Europe in the 60s/70s. There’s two sides to Sherpa The Tiger, there’s the danceable almost-disco cuts that channel the funkier repetitions of CAN's Future Days LP, held together and propelled by a jagged drumbeat that Jaki Liebezeit would surely be proud of. And then there’s the more stripped-back moments, which see cosmic, ambient deconstructions that could easily have found themselves on the score of some kind of 80s crime-thriller set against the neon-lit backdrop of Miami.
