Paper Tigers by The Caesars

Paper Tigers, the fourth album from Stockholm's Caesars, came out in April 2005 through Virgin in Britain, Astralwerks in the US and Toshiba-EMI in Japan, and it rode in on the back of "Jerk It Out", the fuzzed-up garage stomper that snowboarding videos and video games had already carried far beyond Sweden. The song gets a second life here.

Work started in the winter of 2003 at Silence Studio, then shifted to singer Joakim Åhlund's own Decibel Studio in Stockholm, and Michael Brauer mixed it in New York. The result keeps the band's scuzzy, hook-first attack but polishes it up for bigger rooms. "It's Not The Fall That Hurts" is the track from it that rock radio played.
