Adelaide band Siberian Tiger have today announced the release of their debut EP First Dance. The announcement was accompanied by their new single Call On Me.


The slow burning track is an ode to camaraderie, taking inspirational from the late Bill Withers iconic song, Lean On Me. The duo describe the track as "a song dedicated to your ride or die. The one person you could call in the darker hours. When there is no one else you count on in your moment of desperation, your safe person."


Timber Wolf is the collaborative project from Bree Tranter (The Middle East) and Chris Panousakis (Timberwolf). Beginning as a cathartic ritual, the songs came to fruition during the quiet moments of life on tour. On the tour bus, in airports and hotel lobbies, between long-distance calls, and in their seaside home. Collaborating from different parts of the world, due to seperate touring commitments, the pair found comfort in slowly bringing to life their debut self-produced EP First Dance.


The duo also dropped the music video for Call On Me. On the clip, Tranter said: 'Chris and I live down the road from this old RSL, the Henley Sailing Club and we always saw lights upstairs on a Friday night and wondered what goes on there. We looked them up online and saw these beautiful photos of the Southern-Cross Tango dancers that danced every Friday at the club. We thought that would be such a beautiful idea for a music clip, friends swaying together by the sea side. Call on Me is a song about friendship and calling on your friend in need and we feel dancing is such a beautiful depiction of this, so we called up our friend Nick Mckk (Julia Jacklin, Stella Donnelly) to help us capture the perfect moments of dancing between friends while we sang them this anthem of loyalty.’


First Dance is out August 14. Watch the clip for Call On Me below!
