Digit Cleaver feat. Paul Smith (single)

by COUGAR

/

about

'Digit Cleaver' features Paul Smith of Maximo Park on vocals, and was released on the 'Stay Famous' EP (Ninja Tune/Counter) as a precursor to the 'Patriot' full-length album.

Conceived in Madison, Wisconsin, Cougar’s instrumental arrangements fall somewhere between Four Tet, Fugazi, and Nick Drake’s guitar work, though they lean toward the optimistic. The band’s singular sound is rooted in a keen sensibility of form and texture, more in line with sample-based music and modern classical than indie rock – which isn’t to say this is rock-as-academia – Cougar also invoke the roaring riff monster, the fist-in-the-air, anthemic head-banger to which so many groups give only an ironic nod.
