I Had A Dream


I'm driving along a coastal road, LA or Miami maybe. I'm in a Ferrari Testarossa, probably red. I'm wearing a pastel coloured flannel shirt, which is likely to be pink, maybe lavender. The setting sun is reflecting off the RB Aviators and I seem to have put blonde streaks in my hair. Are my trousers white? Deck shoes? Fuck what do I look like?

Fear of Tigers has featured a couple of times already on SS and I keep coming back to him, mainly 'cause he's brilliant. He lovingly wraps his tunes in synth and padded, squelchy, beats and yeah, it reminds me of the 80's, this much synthesiser has to, but I never liked the 80's that much, musically or sartorially. It's not nostalgia that draws me to FOT, it's the positivity in his music. It makes you feel like you're driving the flash car along the cliff top as the sun goes down. It's like opening the curtains on a sun soaked morning, hearing the birds chattering. It makes you feel better.

And his album was free...

Get on to him and tell him you love him. I told him on Twitter, but he hasn't replied...

This remix of Yes Giantess ' Ruins ' is top. Give it a listen. Then listen again and again...and again. It goes all Laura Brannigan 'Gloria' at about 2.45 then he just lets you have it.
