After some lively drumming, erratic bottle top tapping and the instant intuition that they were creating something special, the Los Angeles based collective were left with what would later become ‘Pays To Know’ -the lead single from the newly formed duo; MYPET. With both members invigorated at having met -in each other- an artistic and musical match, their mutual avant-garde prowess and passion for a sophisticated, symphonic sense became their exploratory vehicle to leave behind the confections of modern music… to revisit sound’s more animalistic fundamentals. Before they ever played a show, released a song, or finished writing for their first EP, MYPET signed a deal with the prestigious LuvLuvLuv records (Florence + The Machine & Blood Orange).
With Amy’s sleepy, woozy voice and Ray’s thudding synths, MYPET’s foundational sound stemming from symbolic chanting is coated with hi-tech defenses. The band performed their first show Mar. 26th 2013 at the Sayer’s Club in Hollywood, filling the venue to capacity and leaving a further mass of wistful fans lining the streets outside. Channeling the majesty of established acts like Portisheadand Sleigh Bells, and vigor of credible emerging acts such as York’s Battle Lines (formerly Alvin Purple) and Londonbased lot Eyes On Film, this provocative team is making all the right moves.
In a world of restriction, MYPET are a channel for permission soaked musical alchemy; alluring philosophers whose sultry charm and mastery immediately encourage any audience to connect with the overwhelming feeling of the moment. With their intention rooted in intoxicating crowds with imagery beyond the normal plane, Amy and Ray, primordial and anti-decadent, are steering a shiny ship towards global success, encouraging the populace to revel in metamorphosis, communicate beyond the realms of language and ultimately, if they dare, to seek the light hidden amid the murky darkness.

Tiger
MyPet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go on keep a steady pace
'Cause if you grow impatient,
We're never gonna make it all the way
You gotta learn to think it through
You gotta recognise a cue
Play it right,
Keep your stride,
Pretty soon they'll come to you
Pre-Chorus
Restless and reckless
You gotta hit 'em all
Calm and collected
And you can have it all
Choose one and lose some
You do it in our own
Loosely but looser
And you can have it all
Go get 'em Tiger, oh
Go get 'em Tiger, oh oh
Go get 'em Tiger, ohhhhhhh
And now watch me take the floor
There's finesse and less is more
They don't run me round in circles,
They know that that work on me no more
Pre-Chorus
Restless and reckless
You gotta hit 'em all
Calm and collected
And you can have it all
Choose one and lose some
You do it in our own
Loosely but looser
And you can have it all
Go get 'em Tiger, oh
Go get 'em Tiger, oh oh
Go get 'em Tiger, ohhhhhhh
Nimble,
Open like a window
Move slow,
Spread an eagle
Cut throat,
Thread it like a needle
Nimble
Pre-Chorus
Restless and reckless
You gotta hit 'em all
Calm and collected
And you can have it all
Choose one and lose some
You do it in our own
Loosely but looser
And you can have it all
Go get 'em Tiger, oh
Go get 'em Tiger, oh oh
Go get 'em Tiger, ohhhhhhh
You can have it
You can have it all
