Brighton-based rock ‘n’ roll trio Tigercub have announced details of their highly anticipated new album The Perfume Of Decay, which is set for release on 2nd June via Loosegroove Records, the label co-founded by Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard, a longtime champion of the band.
The band will be heading out on a tour of North America and the UK, coming to a conclusion at The Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea, on November 7th.
The album news comes on the heels of their recent single/video for the title track, which were released as a standalone at the turn of the year to widespread critical acclaim.
With The Perfume of Decay — Tigercub’s third record of hard-hitting rock, as well as their first full-length release for Loosegroove Records — frontman Jamie Hall embraces a moody, melancholic sound.
To mark the announcement, the band shared new single Play My Favourite Song. Speaking about the single, Hall says, “I realised that without music I am alone, without sounds to occupy my brain intrusive thoughts begin to swirl and unease and sadness rises within me, so play my favourite song because silence makes me feel low.”
The Perfume of Decay was recorded after an international tour that took Tigercub halfway around the world in promotion of their last album As Blue Indigo. The record was met with commercial success and critical acclaim, peaking at Number 11 in the UK Independent Albums Chart.
Tigercub celebrated As Blue As Indigo with a suitably epic live schedule, including a sold out UK headline tour, dates alongside longtime friends Royal Blood, and an inspirational North American run with Clutch and Eyehategod. The band also played Reading and Leeds Festival as well as by joining Pearl Jam for their colossal two-night stand at London’s BST Hyde Park 2022.
