Live Review: Tamper with the 'Aurora' skies

Based in Brooklyn, but hailing from very different pockets of this worl, TAMPER, have a global influence and a worldly sound. In the case of their latest track, ‘Aurora’, their sound has taken on an otherworldly sound and entered Tamper to a galactic place.

Up until this point Tamper have been best known for their covers, “Aurora’ is one of their first original releases. With one half of Tamper hailing from Australia, the other from Northern Ireland, and their musical home base Brooklyn, it seems only fitting that their first original track takes on a galactic theme and focuses on the stars, it draws together the global ties of the band under united, colourful skies.

‘Aurora’ has a very spacy sound, no kidding given the title. It opens sounding kind of like a silent art house film made back in the 70’s where they are trying to open your mind to other worlds.

It then jumps into a very different sound. Keeping the same atmospheric vibes, but featuring keyboard and a more defined beat and vocals, ‘Aurora’ takes on almost a hip-hop feeling, but a chill kind of hip hop.

This track is literally like a three part story. Beginning, middle, and end are all very different, and unlike Hollywood’s latest Rom-Com, you can’t actually predict where it is heading. By the time ‘Aurora’ is over you have entered some sort of urgent, dark, place. Kind of like your trip to the skies is crashing back down to Earth as the colours of the brilliant nights sky fade away.
