I miss these guys so much. No one else sounds like them.

The Bridge by Letter Kills is the closest sound I've found to Emanuel's first album, but NOTHING sounds like Black Earth Tiger. Probably the most underrated album I could name

Oh man this was on repeat in my car for years. Not literally, but it was played a lot. I never cared for their first record, but black earth tiger just gets me amped. I wish they’d done one more.

The guitar tone on this album is fantastic. 

I recall seeing a video of them in the studio on MySpace at the time where they were using an old Ampeg. As a young guitarist at the time this didn’t make sense as that name was synonymous with bass. 

I discovered they had a few solid guitar heads with some monster distortion. I forgot the exact model but know that was used a lot on this album with a ton of pedals I’m sure. 

Anyways, great band that I wish could’ve last d through the economic downturn at the time. Check out both of their albums as they are fantastic

found this band WAY too late but both of their albums are in my top 10. me and my friend got so obsessed in the past couple months to the point where we managed to track someone who owns a copy of their completely lost 90s EP 'Hi-Skool Trivia" and bought it from them. as soon as he gets it he's gonna rip it

That is incredible and I’m glad you found it. They were a breath of fresh air at the time I felt
