Actually, you should really never tease or aggravate an ocelot – whoever knows «Metal Gear Solid» knows what can come of this perilous act. Nevertheless, the sound elicited once the critter is really peeved into a feral rage is danceable to the extreme, especially when the beat-revolver is locked and loaded. Tim Freitag have petted and soothingly stroked the spotted underbelly of this predator-cat; the untamed feline reciprocated their gentle gesture by giving them scratched and bloodied faces and a contagious French-House, Indie-tronic rendition of “Tip Toe”.
Free the Nipple!
Behind the pseudonym “Angry Ocelot” lurks and crouches Fotos’ lead-singer, Tom Hessler, who already previously displayed his cunning ken by eliciting the dance-potential in remix-form out of Tim Freitag tracks such as «Hold On», «Bruises», or most recently, «By Your Side». However, each new remix release requires a new cat-alias. These pseudonyms correspond to his most current Instagram account name, which he must continuously change due to his never-ending breaches, violations of the platform’s nipple-policy -- *sigh* these rock stars ….
lyrics
[VERSE 1]
Everything you told me was a lie
Don’t wanna waste a breath and ask you why
I want it to be fair eye for an eye
The girl I know I can't find
But my lips are turning blue
It all comes back to youI better stop to think
I better stop baby it’s a war cry
[CHORUS 1 ]
Poison the air
You tip toe real slow touch down
Tryina control things that you do
Poison the air
You tip toe real slow touch down
Boy she’s on to you
[VERSE 2]
Anything you want you know I’ll try
The more I need to see, the more I’m blind
But girl I wanna give you that piece of my mind
Before your hope is slipping into the night
My lips are turning blue
It all comes back to youI better stop to think
I better stop baby it’s a war cry
[CHORUS 2]
Poison the air
You tip toe real slow touch down
Tryina control things that you do
Poison the air
You tip toe real slow touch down
Boy she’s on to you
[BRIDGE]
You’re sleeping
Hanging on a word now, tryina keep my wit
Though I’m trying hard, I know I wanna quit
Keep a level head now, tryina keep it lit
Say you wanna stay, I know I wanna quit
Deep in the ground a kill switch
Low on your mind a screen glitch
You tip toe real slow baby it’s a war cry
[CHORUS 3]
Poison the air
You tip toe real slow touch down
Now I’m stuck in hullaballoo
Poison the air You tip toe real slow touch down
Boy she’s on to you
Hanging on a word now, you tip toe real slow
Keep a level head , it’s a war cry
Say you wanna stay now, you tip toe real slow
Keep a level head, it’s a war cry

Lyrics: Janick Pfenninger & Vania Sousa
Tim Freitag is and always will be Severin Graf, Nicolas Rüttimann, Lorenzo Demenga, Daniel Gisler & Janick Pfenninger
Although still in the springtime of their budding careers, Tim Freitag’s tunes have a mature, more autumnal spirit to them:
withering, fading relationships, torn, shattered hearts, dark, ominous clouds on the horizon.
Zwar stehen sie im Frühling ihres Bandlebens, Tim Freitag bespielen jedoch vor allem Herbstliches; verwelkende Beziehungen, gebrochene Herzen, dunkle Wolken am Horizont....more
On this harmonically rich LP, the Scottish singer-songwriter contrasts gorgeous soprano harmonies with strident folk-rock instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 26, 2023
