Imperial Tiger Orchestra: Love From London

Horns, keyboards, percussion –often with saxophone or keyboard to replace vocals — alongside the more traditional instruments of Thai ‘phin’ guitar and Ethiopian kebero percussion give the orchestra an impressive and infectious sound.

Three tracks were released in May and their full length LP “Mercato” will be released in October on Mental Grooves.

I’ve been enjoying the range of rhythms and tempos on the album, it’s been on repeat the last few days for me, and I’ve chosen two of my favorites on the album to share with you.

(Love From London is an ongoing series where correspondents Alex Kenning and Izzy Lawrence introduce us to bands generating excitement across the pond.)
