 New Music Canada - Song Of The Day
Today, I'm pleased to say that the song "Tiny Robot Love" was chosen for the New Music Canada Track of the Day on CBC radio3.
So I'd like to say "Thanks CBC radio3!" It's nice to get some Canadian love (to the tune of Tiny Robot love). Listen to the podcast here: Tiny Robot Love song of the day - kerstin   hearts tied to satellites
Lately I've been listening to some of our early songs, and getting nostalgic with it.
Writing and recording in Leeds seems like a lifetime ago, like another life even. I'm intensely proud of the music we've recorded and that people are beginning to discover our back catalogue, like digging up our buried treasure. Most of these are free to download at thepapertigersound.com In the space of two and a half years, we've released 1 album (fujipop), 1 mini album (the last days are taking forever), 4 ep's (broken chords, lost tapes, this is how it ends, tiny robot love) and two singles (coast is clear, magnetic north). ...and that's not including songs like 'under stars' which appear to be lost on the internet somewhere. We don't think that's too bad either. So what's next? Well, as I said in the previous blog we're going to make some short films. And don't be too surprised to see some Vinyl or CD releases by the end of the year. We'll also keep releasing free songs 'cause we all like something for nothing. And if that's not enough, what else can two people do who live on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean? Dan(iel) the new album 'the last days are taking forever' is now available to buy on itunes  this and that
Since the writing and recording of 'tiny robot love' and 'the last days are taking forever', we've been sitting back and trying to relax without much success. We're planning on making a couple of short films and we've some new songs in the making. All good stuff, but we're not in any hurry to finish or release anything just yet.
We've been overwhelmed by the response to 'tiny robot love', and it took us a little bit by surprise if we're honest. So here's hoping the release of 'the last days are taking forever' (out on Monday 18th May on Hungry Audio) is as successful. A live version of the papertiger sound will happen later this year. I've been in fleeting rehearsals now for a while, figuring out which songs work live and which don't. We've also been talking about papertiger sound performances taking place simultaneously in the UK (Dan) and Canada (Kerstin), which would be nice a stop gap until we can both play live together again.

I've spent the last few days uploading all our ep's and albums to the new website. Although it feels as if it's taken forever to complete, it feels good to have everything up at last. Kerstin has been hard at work creating new collages for the website, and they all look pretty damn fab to me. We're dead proud of our new home on the internet, and we've done our best to be as creative as possible with it, such as adding a mini photodiary and putting up more videos (with more in the making !)
The new ep's...well, they do exist!! We're adding the final touches to the first, and there will be another two to follow. We'll let you know about release dates etc. soon, so be sure to sign up to our mailing list to be the first to find out. Ok, that's all for now. Have a great weekend ! Dan  Official Website
Dan and I have been busily working on the PTS official website. There is a lot more to do, but it's coming along nicely. If you have any suggestions for the new site (or anything else for that matter), let us know. We aim to please. Feel free to contact us via our website or by commenting here.
PTS Official Website New songs are also being worked on. Some of them should be released within the next couple of months. Vague, I know. But let it be known that we are both very much looking forward to putting new music out there (here, and everywhere) for your listening pleasure. - Kerstin  Winter Road, Green Valley
I've been hiding in the lovely Annapolis Valley (amongst the snow covered fur trees) for about a week now. It is so beautiful here. Yesterday I took a drive through rolling hills, past old farm houses, apple orchards and along the sparse but awe provoking coastline. I can't help but be inspired.
The songs "Word Escape Me" and "Hockney" are coming along very nicely. I added some vocals and sent them across the Atlantic for Dan. "It's your turn." At times, our tag team approach to recording music can be quite exciting. We never know what the other is going to come up with. Thankfully it's hardly ever (perhaps, never?) a disappointment. Today, I plan to work on "Out Of The In Scene" and then patiently wait for Dan to send over some more files. You know folks, it's not so bad.  - Kerstin
