Tingles


Tingles is an extended play by Australian indie pop band Ratcat, released on 1 October 1990.
It went on to peak at No.1 in Australia and finished 1991 as the second best-selling single of the year, behind " I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams. It was also the highest-selling single in Australia by an Australian artist in 1991.
The EP was promoted by the song "That Ain't Bad".

Reception

Tingles was given 4.5 out of 5 in a review by All Music.
Steve Gardner from NKVD Records said "I'm really surprised they could chart with a guitar sound this gnarly; the songs are obvious radio pop stuff, but songs made for radio don't have guitars mixed as loud as the vocals and they certainly don't have the distortion set to 10." adding "All of the first side is excellent, and "Skin" from the second side is equally good. "Away from This World" sounds cool on first listen as the music is married with the soundtrack from the Challenger space shuttle explosion, but it doesn't hold up to repeated play and "My Bloody Valentine" is a throwaway experiment that fizzled out. Still, a pleasant surprise and show of potential for good things still to come."
