Sound it Out # 25: Miniature Tigers - "Female Doctor"

I almost didn’t want to single out one song from Miniature Tigers’ new album Mia Pharoah because the whole thing works so nicely as a collection of music. Charlie Brand’s breathy falsetto and a general pop/synth vibe tie the album together, and the Brooklyn-via-Phoenx band experiments with sound and technique throughout the record to great success.

“Female Doctor” has lots of sexy energy, but despite the title it’s more flirty than nasty. It’s got this sneaky guitar riff that makes a happy zone fire off in my brain...and then I hit repeat.

Free download for a week!

BONUS: Here’s a video of actual miniature (Sumatran) tigers.

Wait, you mean this isn’t about a female regeneration of the doctor? Dang.

  I thought the same thing. I was hoping they were championing a female version of The Doctor

    Give them a few more regenerations. It’s only a matter of time before the UK runs out of male actors to play the role…
