LISTEN: Tigers at Midnight — I Know Where You're Sleeping
Tigers at Midnight is the solo project of Andy Clare, a songwriter and producer based in Chichester, England. Andy writes, plays, records and produces his music at home. Released on November 6, "I Know Where You're Sleeping" introduces his forthcoming album Utopian Humdrum, due in 2027. The song looks at the uncertainty of teenage relationships and the confidence that can follow them.
It channels wild energy. The drums fly in every direction like shards of a broken heart, and the crazy fat guitars charge through the mix like tigers tearing through the jungle. The song is pure pop-punk, immediately bringing to mind Sum 41, Blink-182, and perhaps even The Offspring.
The melodies are bright, catchy, and cheerful, but there's some grown-up pain underneath all the youthful energy. You can hear it in the vocals, which are deep, slightly raspy, and full of anguish. Perhaps surprisingly, they made me think of Henry Rollins at times. The combination of infectious melodies, explosive instrumentation, and raw emotion is what gives this song every chance of becoming a true hit.
