Four vocalists and an education in Afro-new-wave and the indier side of dance music has led Londoners My Tiger My Timing to create a mightily catchy single in 'This Is Not The Fire'. Talking Heads and Hot Chip are both owed dues - despite the opening to the single sounding closer to a rave number - with the overbearing feeling being laidback and uncomplicated; the sort of song that you'll comfortably listen to three or four times in a day. It's an enthralling and familiar pop single, essentially - reworking existing ideas and throwing up a few new ones, then amalgamating it all until the hook is stuck right in the belly of your consciousness.
