In advance of the band's tour with Fun., Miniature Tigers<http://www.miniaturetigers.com/> premieres their seductive single, "Sex on the Regular," with a fitting NSFW music video today on IFC.com HERE<http://www.ifc.com/fix/2012/04/premiere-miniature-tigers-sex-on-the-regular>. Lead singer Charlie Brand, who is deeply inspired by the popular English painter David Hockney, illustrated the video's x-rated images in Hockney's fashion, which was assembled and edited by director Max Goldblatt. The high-energy dance track is off of Miniature Tigers' brilliant abstract-pop record, Mia Pharaoh, which is out now on Modern Art Records, in conjunction with Warner Music's Independent Label Group.
The four-piece will serve as main support for Fun.'s Spring 2012 Tour, which kicks-off this Friday, April 13th at The Brick in Minneapolis, MN. All tour dates listed below.

Praise for Miniature Tigers and Mia Pharaoh:
"They [Miniature Tigers] have a really ethereal way of translating music - actually, they have a very different approach to our "You Got Me" song  [during our session with Red Bull's Soundclash] that I never thought of in the fifteen years I've been playing it, so I told those guys, 'the second we are done with the Soundclash I'm gonna steal all of your arrangements for like all of our songs.'  Never once did I ever think to reinterpret it the way that they reinterpreted it." - drummer ?uestlove of  The Roots
"Album three [Mia Pharaoh]opens with a pair of curveballs, the horndog electro-disco fantasies "Sex on the Regular" and "Female Doctor." The lyrics are pure R. Kelly kitsch ("I'm your secret/You can take me out and play me like a saxophone"), but the tunes are as sneakily hummable as ever, and frontman Charlie Brand makes a surprisingly decent Romeo." - RollingStone.com
"What I like about them [Miniature Tigers] is that they could probably be a very successful, standard-issue indie-rock band aping Death Cab or Grizzly Bear or Vampire Weekend, but they're too restless and busting with ideas." -Spin

"Wedged between a dreamy throwback sound and rapid-fire backing harmonies, Brand [lead singer Charlie Brand] carries a degree of self-seriousness, lending nuanced shades of gray to an otherwise chipper mood." - NPR
"...if Shakespeare's Romeo had been in a band, Brand's vocals would have come out his mouth. A total loverboy voice..." - The Huffington Post

"Miniature Tigers are getting bigger...Their new album [Mia Pharaoh] gets a little bit racier than previous fare (see: 'Sex on the Regular') and is meant to shock listeners..." - InterviewMagazine.com
