Details:
How the Tiger Got Lionized is the first album from the team of Super Robertson (scene kingpin and Supper Show impresario) and Simian Special (whom I know as Roadbedâs last drummer, but is a man of many musical projects), whoâve merged their talents to form SUPERSIMIAN! A couple of good Canadian guys making good Canadian music with a lineage from Neil Young to the Rheostatics and beyond. And, because my Canada is in the Commonwealth, Iâd throw XTC into the cluster of references too. How the Tiger⦠is an aimable, spontaneous (spontamiable?) record, loaded with detailed arrangements and variation âtween songs. There are a lot of vocals on this CD, neither of these chaps are afraid of the microphone. Fortunately their vocal talents are more than a match for their extroversion. Simâs a huge talent, with a voice that ranges from a direct, folksy tone to a falsetto that soars into the big sky. Superâs the king of rhythm and feel, able to wrest music from the most mundane phraseâ¦not that the lyrics of SUPERSIMIAN are in any way banal. Theyâre rather brilliant, filled with character sketches, natural phenomena, and local references. Thereâs even a tune about hockey for the ultimate toque ânâ block-heater appeal. Favourite songs would be the Crazy Horse charge of âBill Von Bacon Tell,â the barely contained abandon of â70s Rock at the Railwayâ (Iâd like to hear this bashed out live sometime), and the amazing âProvincial,â a song I remember from the last few Roadbed gigs I saw, captured on this album in a live recording that trades a few duff notes for an incredible atmosphere. Magic. In fact, the band lineup on this song includes guitarist Shockk (whose latest release I will write about soon), making it a Roadbed reunion of sorts. The inclusion of a version of âSun Rises,â last heard on Roadbedâs Last Dance at the Shock Centre, re-emphasizes the connection to Super and Simâs previous band. Graced by Simâs fantastic graphic design, How the Tiger Got Lionized captures some harmonious heroism from a pair of unstoppable characters.
