MP3: Tigercats – Full Moon Reggae Party
In advance of their debut full length album, Isle of Dogs (April 9, 2012), east London indie poppers Tigercats are releasing a free MP3 download of “Full Moon Reggae Party”.
“Full Moon Reggae Party” was written in one day after an enforced absence from the studio, and recorded just a couple of days later. It’s about going on the run (“I heard you stole a van, we’ve got some fake Gaugin’s, let’s go and get the cash, dance to Two Sevens Clash”) but it’s also the most direct love song they’ve ever done. A lot of Tigercats’ lyrics are constructed out of fleeting, disconnected imagery, but “Full Moon Reggae Party” speaks straight to it’s subject. Unlike earlier songs, it was written by Duncan with Laura’s voice in mind: the exuberant verses that he sings solo contrast with the richness of the chorus.
“We love to play it because it’s fast and it’s about breaking the law.”
Catch Tigercats at London Popfest this Saturday, Feb 25th before they hit the road, touring UK (Feb/March) and Spain (April). They have also just been confirmed to play the Indietracks Festival at Midland Railway in Butterley, Derbyshire in July.
Tigercats’ album launch for Isle of Dogs will be March 30th at Power Lunches in Dalston.
