Tangerine Debut New Song “Nothing Better” on “MTVBuzzworthy”
Digital Single for “Nothing Better” Available April 15th Via Fin Records ~ Includes Exclusive B-Side “Northern Line”
Seattle four piece Tangerine are excited to debut a stream of their new single “Nothing Better” on “MTV Buzzworthy.” The digital single, produced by Martin Feveyear (Mudhoney, Mark Lanegan, Damian Jurado), will be released on April 15th via Fin Records and includes the exclusive unreleased b-side “Northern Line”. On the new single, Tangerine capture “…the whimsy often found on IFC sketch shows and in Euro twee acts like Camera Obscura and Lucky Soul – or, you know, The Cardigans,” writes “Buzzworthy,” going on to say, “There’s a definite Pacific Northwest edge to the band’s plucky rhythm section, which thumps and fidgets with kick drums and a beard-scratchy bassline. Frontwoman Marika Justad sings with just a sprinkle of sass as she teases her way through romantic lines…”
Listen to “Nothing Better” at “MTV Buzzworthy” or SoundCloud.
The “Nothing Better” single follows upon the success of Tangerine’s Radical Blossom EP, which garnered praise last summer and fall from Bust, Death + Taxes, NME, Bitch, Tom Tom Magazine, Seattle Weekly, and a nod as Guardian “Band Of the Day,” among many other mentions. Recently, the band made their debut appearance at SXSW and completed a tour of western states with dates including The Treefort Music Festival.
Comprised of sisters Marika Justad (lead vocalist, songwriter) and Miro Justad (drums) alongside Toby Kuhn (guitar) and Ryan Baker (bass), the band have had a prolific and well received start to their relatively brief history together, setting aside the Justad sisters’ history of making music together since the ages of 13 and 15 respectively. Tangerine played their first show in January 2013 and self-released their first EP, Pale Summer, a few months later in March. Ambitious by nature, they quickly followed with Radical Blossom in August; the album won national and international recognition.
United through family ties and an incredibly close knit friendship that sees the band spending most days together, Tangerine (named for a Led Zeppelin song) draws upon a diverse range of inspirations, from the Breeders and Fleetwood Mac to the Velvet Underground and 90s R&B. Never predictable, they have established their own breezy and unique sound-raw, catchy, and tender melodies that are fresh yet nostalgic, and uniquely West Coast.
