With their Chop Shop Records debut album, Keep Color, The Republic Tigers have arrived with an impressive breadth of vision that instantly marks them as something extraordinary. Epic yet intimate, tracks like "Made Concrete" and the towering "Buildings & Mountains" see the Kansas City-based quintet weaving future folk, euphoric psychedelia, and exuberant symphonic pop with intricately crafted electronic textures and uncommon emotional depth. The result is a bold and beautiful collection of strikingly human music that holds an aural mirror to our ever more technologically integrated society.
