‘SABRE THE TOOTHTIGER’ is the final of three standalone singles from Sydney psych-junk foursome WAWAWOW.

The track is a combination of restraint and the psych-induced Devo stylings of the band, with a shattered self-deprecating tone marching through odd time signatures taking cues from somewhere between the B-52s and Royal Blood.

Teetering on the edge of complete pandemonium and yet at times sounding precisely calculated, the single deals with the frustrations of creative collaboration through a raucous merger of biting guitar licks and bit-crushed bass synth. Vocally aggressive compared with WAWAWOW’s usual feline-inspired material, the tortured and screeching lyrics are satirised with one-liner guitar punchlines, as if you put the White Album into a blender and baked it into a modern Bond theme.

‘SABRE THE TOOTHTIGER’ was mixed by Dane Burge at the University of Westminster and mastered by Andrew Edgson at 301 Studios, screen-grabbing the sensation of a band overwhelmed with technological choices, frustration and exhilaration.
