Tigercats - Mysteries

Review by Jon Clark

Tigercats are a long way from earning their stripes.»

Buy now from:

East London's Tigercats return with their new album and first release for Fortuna Pop! 'Mysteries' is vividly emotional and sonically expansive, blending the very best of indiepop with complex song structures, lush production and beautiful arrangements. Tigercats combine the talents of songwriter, singer and guitarist Duncan Barrett with his brother Giles on bass, Laura Kovic on keyboards and vocals, and Jonny Evans on drums, as well as recent recruit Paul Rains from Allo Darlin' on guitar. And on Mysteries they're joined by living legend Terry Edwards (Gallon Drunk / Tindersticks), who contributes saxophone and trumpet on several tracks. 'Isle of Dogs' fizzed with jangly punk, afro rhythms and spoken word sections, while 'Mysteries' is a sophisticated pop record, effervescent and spirited, with care and love poured into every song.
