Brothertiger Plays: Tears for Fears' Songs From the Big Chair

by Brothertiger

supported by

mitchellryanroberts This album was revamped in the most incredible way. Each track still comes with all the nostalgia, just re packaged in a vibrant and modern way. Favorite track: Mothers Talk.

Jeremy Walling Honestly hard to pick a favorite track, but the arrangement of Everybody Wants to Rule the World is so new and vibrant. The whole record is totally TFF and totally Brothertiger. Great stuff. Favorite track: Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

about

"When I set out to cover this album, I didn't have any goal or agenda attached to it. I certainly wasn't trying to enhance it; to me, the album is a case study of pristine pop music production. I wasn't trying to cover it in a radically different way either. Much of my musical influence derives from this album (and this band), so I knew I wouldn't have to stray far in order to make it unique to my style of music. I suppose the ultimate purpose of covering this album was to honor Roland, Curt, Ian, and Chris for producing one of the greatest albums of all time. There are some albums from the same era that sound quintessentially '80s. To me, SFTBC is a sound all it's own, and I am truly honored that my take on it has been received so warmly by listeners and by Tears for Fears themselves." - John

the rain has been falling ever more slowly this morning, apparently transitioning to snow. or perhaps the sky is as reluctant to ever again touch the ground as i am right now while listening to this album. i've been a fan since l.o.l. but this is the best one yet! Scott
