New Thunderbirds Are Now!: "Sleeping in the Lion's Mouth"

There's been a lot of talk going around concerning the "new" Thunderbirds Are Now! and how they're not as insane anymore, or that they've lost the energy they used to have on the new album, Make History. World's biggest lie. Make History may sound a bit different on first listen, but after immersing myself in it long enough I've found it grabbing me even tighter than Justamustache did. Sure, there's no "To: Skulls" here, but there's enough new ideas and directions to keep you busy figuring out which song is your favorite for weeks. Check out this track from the upcoming LP Make History and try to tell me they've lost they're edge, just try.

[MP3]: Thuderbirds Are Now! :: Sleeping in the Lion's Mouth
Opening with sharper-than-glass guitar cuts, "Sleeping in the Lion's Mouth" is one of the more "rock" sounding songs on the album, that is, until the chorus comes around and more and more synth shots pile up right in your face and you realize it's still TAN! Then after a slightly obvious buildup, the song bursts into an amazingly awesome synth solo, probably my favorite single moment on the entire album.

Make History is out October 3rd on NYC's Frenchkiss Records and TAN! will be touring their asses off from September through November, so chances are they'll be coming to see you.

New to TAN!? Listen to this first.
