“Williamsburg by-way of Phoenix indie rockers Miniature Tigers continue to gain momentum off their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Fortress, which Entertainment Weekly calls ‘all around enjoyable’ and Seattle Weekly pegged as ‘sensational, inspirational and celebrational.’ The band recently released a Where’s Waldo inspired video for the first single, ‘Bullfighter Jacket,’ which NPR selected as their Song Of The Day explaining that the song ‘quickly identifies itself as the band’s best work yet, with tight chord progressions and glimmers of yet more growth potential.’ Watch the video HERE.
Miniature Tigers were recently named one of SPIN Magazine‘s 5 Best New Artists For October. ‘What I like about them is that they could probably be a very successful, stand-issue indie-rock band aping Death Cab or Grizzly Bear or Vampire Weekend’ explains SPIN Music Editor Charles Aaron, ‘but they’re too restless and busting with ideas. Fortress is dazzling at times, and once they figure how to be baroque and pretentious without trying to hard, they’ll get even better.’
“A new Daytrotter session from Miniature Tigers just went live, listen HERE. ‘Miniature Tigers are one of the best examples America has of a young band working a something new, something old and something borrowed mentality with its songwriting. With each album they make more bold steps forward…They understand it all and what they’re producing are songs that are instant loves.’
“Miniature Tigers continue to be road warriors. After wrapping up a month with Neon Indian, The Tigers will hit the road again tomorrow for a string of dates with The Walkmen and Japandroids followed by a full US tour with Freelance Whales. All dates are below and feel free to send guest list requests my way.”

“A zeitgeisty combination of vocal-indie-world-pop (a la Grizzly Bear and Local Natives), old-school indie-pop, casual experimentation, and the druggy-haze of dream-pop” – Metromix
“A crate of sunny soaked sounds, they bring it…big time.” – New York Post
