Three years after the release of Charmer, a record that’s quietly established itself as classic of the indie-punk cannon, Tigers Jaw are back in the UK in support of their new record, Spin.

Spin marks a new chapter for the Scranton, Pennsylvania-based band for many reasons. Not only is it the first collection of songs that was completely written and recorded solely by Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins, but it was also the first time they had a full month in the studio without having to worry about outside responsibilities. The album represents the first release on Atlantic Records’ new imprint Black Cement, a label spearheaded by the band’s longtime collaborator Will Yip who returned to the production helm for Spin.

From the sweetly syncopated, fuzzed-out bliss of the opener Follows to the mid-tempo melodicism of June and liltingly lovely ballad Bullet, Spin sees Tigers Jaw stretching out sonically. Lyrically, Walsh also tried something new by experimenting with stream-of-consciousness writing to express his ideas in an unfiltered fashion. The album sees Collins taking a shine to writing duties whether she’s writing a love song like Same Stone or getting introspective on the dreamy Brass Ring.

Album pre-orders are now open at iTunes for digital and from the band’s store for CD, limited edition blue vinyl and merch bundles. All pre-orders receive instant downloads of Guardian and June.
