Brooklyn duo, Tiger Silko, Release Debut Album June 2023
Cinematic, dream pop album inspired by space operas, tarot and Carl Sagan
June 21st, 2023 (Brooklyn, NY) - Tiger Silko releases self-titled, debut album as the culmination of several singles released over the course of the spring.
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 12-track album was recorded and mixed in Wright’s home studio and is the result 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.
