Tigercats - Pig City (LP)

Add to Cart

Over three years since the release of the critically acclaimed Mysteries, East London'€™s Tigercats return with their long-awaited and much-anticipated follow-up, Pig City, a record that builds both musically and lyrically on their work to date.

Almost completely self-recorded and produced by bassist Giles, the record sees a broadening of the band's indie pop influences, expanding into highlife, afrobeat and scuzzy West African psych. While sonically more aggressive, Pig City is also the sound of a band increasingly political with a lyrical ferocity not so often heard - a direct result of the anger felt as the incessant gentrification of East London creeps ever closer to the studio in which the record was made.

Their third record and first with Barcelona label El Segell del Primavera, Pig City is the sound of a band unafraid of changing a winning formula, with the results fierce, bold and powerful.
