This band, often compared to Low, specializes in the whisper, the waltz, and songs that are jazz in concept, but not in execution.
Editorial review
Whether Tiger Saw's Dylan Metrano and Juliet Nelson are an item is anyone's guess, but their band's hushed, melancholy sound, lovely boy-girl harmonies, and overly ponderous lyrics so clearly recall other slowcore couples like Low's Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker or Ida's Dan Littleton and Elizabeth Mitchell that romance would seem an inevitable element of the equation. Luckily for Blessed Are the Trials We Will Find, the music isn't nearly as clunky as the album title -- though plainly a product of their influences, Metrano and Nelson possess voices that complement each other beautifully, and the songs' plaintive melodies and spectral arrangements would do early Low and Ida records proud. If and when Tiger Saw will evolve to create records of comparable beauty and grace as their inspirations remains to be seen, but Blessed Are the Trials is a good start. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Tiger Saw formed at the turn of the century in a hotel in Los Angeles, where Dylan Metrano wrote much of their self-produced winter 1999 album How To Be Timeless Tonight. He brought his creations back to his hometown of Newburyport, a seaside town 40 miles to the north of Boston. There the slow, quiet and decidedly non-rock sound of his band tended to frustrate its players, who came and went in the tradition of the loose-knit jazz combos of a generation or two ago. By 2000, a line-up had finally solidified.
Tiger Saw play songs of innocence and experience. Tempestuous bedroom songs are their metier. Blessed are the Trials We Will Find is fraught with emotion, a recording both tense and intense--like a first kiss. Sometimes lush and majestic, at other times austere and introspective, Blessed's sound brings to mind some sort of dream lullaby or timeless prayer.
