The same goes for <i>\u2018World Without the Moon\u2019<\/i>, which is infectious with instrumentation so positively bouncy it\u2019s almost sarcastic.<\/p>\n<p>The brash <i>\u2018Devil Lurks on the Road\u2019<\/i> is fast-paced and punchy with its snarling twang of psychobilly guitar alongside consistent drum fills carrying the song throughout. Slower, <i>\u2018Dark and Lonely Night\u2019<\/i> can be best described as the type of song you\u2019d hear sitting in an almost empty bar contemplating life while a band entertain as background noise. Polishing off the record, <i>\u2018In The Morning Light\u2019<\/i> is mostly peaceful and reflective on the album in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2018V \u2022\u2022\u2022\u2013\u2019<\/i> is arguably <b>Tiger Army<\/b>\u2019s finest, most meticulously produced record and is the definition of a refreshing listen. It is an evolution in the quality of their sound and holds classic, timeless elements which are not often explored. It\u2019s clich\u00e9 to say, but it most definitely does not disappoint and will take a rightful place amongst the highest calibre releases of this year so far.<\/p>\n<p>4\/5<\/p>\n<p><i>&lsquo;V \u2022\u2022\u2022\u2013&rsquo;<\/i>&rsquo; by <b>Tiger Army<\/b> is released on May 20th on <b>Rise Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tiger Army<\/b> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/tigerarmy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tigerarmy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tigerarmy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Phoebe Messenger (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kangaezu_ni\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@kangaezu_ni<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some bands make you wait a year for new material, others make you wait almost ten.
