Progressive Rock

The Sound Of Animals Fighting - The Tiger And The Duke

The Sound of Animals Fighting is a progressive rock side project of several members of Finch, Rx Bandits frontman Matt Embree and ex-Saosin vocalist Anthony Green, now with Circa Survive, along with several other unknown artists, all organized by former vocalist and trombone player for the Rx Bandits, Rich Balling.

Largely the result of a desire on the part of Balling to work with Anthony Green(vocals), who he views as one of the greatest talents in indie rock, Tiger & the Duke was actually recorded by different artists at different times, with the entirety of the recording being done with the musicians themselves never meeting. In that sense, the album is entirely improvised, even the vocals. Dabbling in electronica, hardcore and progressive rock.

The end result is an absolutely magnificent work of symphonic opera of progressive rock - featuring 5 interludes in-between the main 4 "Acts" or rather tracks, within the album. A must for prog-rock fans.
