Listen... Tanks! is a Northern Irish/Irish avant-garde music group, consisting of alternative rock band Snow Patrol's lead singer Gary Lightbody and producer Jacknife Lee, who has produced the last three albums for Snow Patrol, among others. The group evolved after experiments in the studio between Lighbody and Lee. Lightbody has credited indie rock band Sunset Rubdown's second album Shut Up I Am Dreaming as inspiration to himself and Lee to start the project.

  • Listen... Tanks! is a Northern Irish/Irish avant-garde music group, consisting of alternative rock band Snow Patrol's lead singer Gary Lightbody and producer Jacknife Lee, who has produced the last three albums for Snow Patrol, among others. The group evolved after experiments in the studio between Lighbody and Lee. Lightbody has credited indie rock band Sunset Rubdown's second album Shut Up I Am Dreaming as inspiration to himself and Lee to start the project. Both Lightbody and Lee play all the intruments. The only known song by the group is "Black and Silver", which was played on BBC Radio 1 on January 10, 2007 by Lightbody himself, while he was a guest presenter for Zane Lowe (who was on vacation) during the 2007 takeovers. The sound of the song was described by Hot Press as "heavily treated vocals and assorted electronic clicks and beeps". NME described it as having a "heavily processed arrangement, pitching an ominous multi-tracked vocal backing against glockenspiels and Lightbody’s vocal". Lightbody himself sees the song as "a strange, little, dark, country, folkish beast. " In May 2009, Lightbody revealed plans of releasing material in an album called Listen Tank. He described the group's sound as "russian submarine music", explaining that the record utilizes a lot more voice than the guitar, the result sounding like a choir performing underwater. Lightbody has hinted at the possible inclusion of a few guests on the record, but nothing has been confirmed as yet.
