We recorded this album in 2019 in what feels like a different world, but the sentiments remain the same. It’s about confidence at war with doubt, living in the moment, learning from the past, and taking stock of what’s truly important. We are pleased to share our first single Cat’s Cradle, along with a real cool music video directed by Lauren Adams and Drew Horen of Polar Bear Productions now available on YouTube and all streaming platforms. . Play it loud, share it with a friend, or add it to your favourite playlist. The history of the Pennsylvania indie band Tigers Jaw is often divided into two distinct phases: before and after the 2013 departure of three of the band’s five founding members, one of whom, Adam McIlwee (who now records as Wicca Phase Springs Eternal), went on to found the influential emo rap collective Gothboiclique. Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins stuck around, though, and reshaped the band’s sound into something a bit softer and more introspective than the band’s brash emo roots. Its previous album, 2017’s “Spin,” felt a bit transitional, but “Cat’s Cradle,” the first single from the forthcoming “I Won’t Care How You Remember Me” (out early next year) is a confident step out of the shadow of the past and into the band’s future. Driven by chugging guitars and prismatic keys, it’s a refreshing blast of bouncy power-pop, tinged bittersweet by Collins’ lilting lead vocals.

“You couldn’t stop it if you wanted to,” sing Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins in their unmistakable dual-vocal approach on the closer of Tigers Jaw’s fifth LP. It’s specific to the narrative, but also entirely apparent to their own. Losing three-fifths of their line-up in one fell swoop would have entirely derailed a lesser band. As luck would have it, Tigers Jaw are one of the most resilient and resolute acts to emerge in the fourth-wave emo revival. Spin, as an LP, proves it. “Window” allows for the album to flicker and fade, its burn slow but ever so beautiful.

Official audio for the track “Window” from the new album ‘spin’ available now on Black Cement Records.

Tigers Jaw is an from Scranton Pennsylvania, formed in 2005.  In March 2013, Tigers Jaw announced that they will be going on hiatus. However, on August 6th, 2013, Run for Cover Records posted that the band never officially stated that they were going to break up. The band would still be making music. Since, they have recorded a new album with all of the original members entitled Charmer which was released in June 2014 with more subdued, mature Tigers Jaw, but the evolution shown by this record is welcome. the Tigers Jaw signature sound is still at work, with power chords and organ drones plus tight drumming formula makes for tracks which range from stellar to recycled. definitely a rewarding listen.
