Siberian Tiger release debut EP 'First Dance'
Part Time Records and Remote Control are thrilled to announce Siberian Tiger debut EP ‘First Dance’ available now.
Siberian Tiger - Bree Tranter (The Middle East) and Chris Panousakis (Timberwolf) wrote, recorded and produced their six track EP in their home studio by the seaside over the past two years.
Songs that they both decided would’t fit their solo music projects instead found a home together under their new joint adventure. Soft woodwinds and winding harmonies interweave each other to compliment the hauntingly real life stories of loss, camaraderie and ritual.
What started as a cathartic ritual soon began to take shape in the quiet moments that punctuate the life of a touring musician - in the back of the tour bus, in airports and hotel lobbies, between long-distance calls, and in the still of their seaside home. Siberian Tiger’s debut release became a true labour of love for partners in life and in music, Bree Tranter & Chris Panousakis.
For Chris the past few years have seen him fluctuate between his solo project Timberwolf and time spent on the road as Matt Corby’s guitarist, a welcome overlap with Bree, who is also a longstanding member of the band. Bree’s focus was equally on the return of her band - international indie darlings - The Middle East, who played a series of highly-anticipated concerts including two sold out nights at the Sydney Opera House. Sprawled across the globe, the pair found comfort in slowly assembling their debut self-produced EP First Dance however possible. Sometimes together, often apart, yet always making up for lost time in their home studio on the South Australian coastline.
