With Lost On You being Tigers Jaw’s seventh full album, the occasion isn’t lost on them. They know where they’ve been, where they are, and where they want to be heading.

Formed by high school friends in Scranton, PA, Tigers Jaw have spent over twenty years allowing each album to grow alongside them. They’ve moved gracefully from the territory of teenage joys and angst into a more mature, seasoned standing. Today, their music has evolved into something deeper, a sound now defined by a masterful sense of forlornness and foreboding.

Forcible, intense rhythm, with the drive of guitar and overlapping vocals, delivers well-received harmonies. It’s clear to see that Tigers Jaw are a hard-working band, confident in their abilities, delivery and songwriting.

While they aren’t a band we’ve witnessed too often on these shores, if you imagine a collision between the soaring indie of Band of Horses and the atmospheric pulse of The xx, you’ll be in the right ballpark. Having racked up massive streaming numbers, most notably from their landmark self-titled debut, it’s easy to see Lost On You reaching similar acclaim. It’s a record that feels destined for the same heavy rotation as their early classics.

Standout tracks from this release include Breezer, Ghost, and Head Is Like a Shrinking Stone, which give us every reason to explore more of Tigers Jaw.

Tigers Jaw explore the profound possibility of realising every version of ourselves, suggesting that we aren’t just who we are today, but a living accumulation of our former, present, and future selves. This seventh album, Lost On You, acts as a thematic bridge where these different identities can finally meet and converse.
