Is it pop, classical or electronica? All of these things? We can't quite tell, but we like the noise this London trio make
Tom Rogerson, frontman with London-based noise trio Three Trapped Tigers, is a classically trained pianist who helped produce Emmy the Great's debut album and whose entry into non-classical music was the Warp back catalogue, particularly Aphex Twin. When he started his band he wanted to replicate the electronic music he'd fallen in love with, but using different instruments. It's these influences that inform his band's sound, with various genres and time-signatures thrown into the mix to see which bits stick. Having released three well-received EPs and toured extensively, Three Trapped Tigers have just issued their debut album, Route One or Die. Noise Trade, the second track, blends pummelling drums, rapid-fire guitar and synth washes. It's an unsettling listen, enhanced by the nightmarish video featuring a robot who feasts on the beating hearts of woodland creatures.
