After the release of their highly-praised 2021 sophomore LP 'As Blue As Indigo', Tigercub have now announced their plans for their new studio album 'The Perfume Of Decay', which is set to be released on the 2nd June via Loosegroove Records.
The new full-length will include the previously shared title-track, and is being previewed by the new lead single 'Play My Favourite Song'.
Speaking about the new release, the band's Jamie Hall said, “The Perfume of Decay is set at night. It was written at night, I recorded all the vocals at night, and it is at night when my thoughts race and uneasiness pours through me like running water. Under the glimmer of moonlight, my apprehension ebbs and flows like the tide and it doesn’t stop until the morning. Perfume is a diary of my emotional journey from dusk to dawn, an anxiety-fueled voyage through the storm. Lyrically, at points, it is almost a stream of consciousness. I sat up late and wrote the words down as they flashed before my eyes.
“I use my songwriting as a form of catharsis, a tool to examine my anxiety and insecurity about growing older and how those emotions seem to lead me towards turmoil. I pour those feelings into my lyrics and only then can I move on from them.”
