Bury the heart that you love

With the one that you’re breaking

Slain for a slip of relief

Like all good company keeps

The feelers from waking

And wide-eyed

I would compromise

Set the stars alight

For what you had in mind

Seek all you seek

Seekers laid waste around my hem

Dripping in disbelief, like all good worshipers

We were nothing without them

And sometimes

I would not deny

The draw of paradise

And what you had in mind

Brooklyn duo, Tiger Silko, Release Third Single May 2023

Cinematic, dream pop album inspired by space operas, tarot and Carl Sagan to follow

May 5th, 2023 (Brooklyn, NY) - Tiger Silko releases third single Feeler off their upcoming, debut album. The dark pop release is a seductive slink through the semidarkness of liminal states, arcane worlds and shape-shifting dreams. Ethereal vocal melodies and atmospheric instrumentation are bound by a pulsing heartbeat of bass and drums, while Jaeggi’s vocals snake through the voluptuary landscape. Feeler is a pisces, an incarnation of the goddess Hecate, a pair of lovers and a priestess, a water lily on a black ocean, a blood oath and a Bene Gesserit, a sacred heart, a pomegranate, a gorgon and a deviance.

What began as singer-songwriter Lisa Jaeggi lending vocals to Jonathon Wright’s independent film scores, developed into a collaboration to create a soundtrack for a non-existent film. Faced with the limitations imposed by scoring scenes that had already been shot, as well as budgets, producers and directors to contend with, the duo slowly began working a dreamy, sci-fi-inspired tracklist limited only by their imaginations. 

On the songwriting side, Jaeggi takes much of the inspiration from astronomy, mythology, tarot, dreams, magic, the occult, the human condition, and space operas like Dune. All while incorporating personal themes like loss, regret, existential loneliness, intrusive thoughts, self-awareness and hedonism. To tell the stories through the lush arrangements,  Wright turns to his eclectic love of opera, dance and cinematic inspirations, ranging from Mozart’s The Magic Flute to Johann Johannsson to Phillip Glass.

The song, as well as the entire album, was recorded and mixed in Wright’s home studio and is the culmination of nearly four years of crafting, polishing and reworking to tell the most compelling story. The balance of Jaeggi’s love of darker pop music (The Weeknd, Labrinth, Alt-J, Radiohead) and Wright’s more classic repertoire (Pink Floyd, Popol Vuh, David Shire, Kate Bush) results in a collection of hypnotic yet catchy songs that follow a fantastical journey across the album.
