Brooklyn's '80s and Bee Gees/Hall & Oates-inflected lite-rock quartet Tigercity self-released their Pretend Not To Love EP in 2007. After lengthy tours with IMA Robot, VHS or Beta, Via Audio, etc., and some post-production rest, the group's following it up with their first full-length Ancient Lover this fall. Take a listen to the smoothly honest first single "Fake Gold." It's about trying to stay fab in this shitty economy, more or less.
