Tiger & Panda: 'God Damn! Freezing Cold Hands!' and 'NVQ in Hangin' Out'

Tiger and Panda is the alias for Olly Watson and Henry Ireland's two-piece project. Reflecting their indecisive working relationship, live performaces sound drastically different each time. Their recording policy has a similar sense of flightiness and is limited to EP length, in order to maintain freshness.

God Damn! Freezing Cold Hands is their first recording, consisting of four songs: two instrumental tracks and a song each from Watson and Ireland. The mood is dark and gloomy and evokes a heavily live sound.

NVQ in Hangin' Out Was recorded over a longer period of time and is a collection of six songs (three each). The start of the summer is an obvious influence on these recordings.

'Light Out!' - Olly Watson

Olly is such a quick songwriter it is often hard to keep up with him, and it is made even more difficult by his constant need to press on forward and never look back. When he does concentrate on a set of songs long enough to record, however, this is the sort of quality he comes out with -absolutely fantastic! This collection of songs sees Olly branch out a little, instrumentation wise experimenting more with keyboards and drums (played on keyboards).
