Tigers Jaw release “Ghost”, the gripping latest single from their upcoming album ‘Lost on You’, arriving March 27 via Hopeless Records. Ben Walsh explains the song stemmed from a chance run-in with someone he grew up with, an encounter that would have been warm and cherished at one point but held no significance after the slow steady passage of time and growing apart. “The quick flash of memories with this person felt like a glimpse into a past life, or like seeing a ghost,” Walsh says. “Some people don’t stay in your life forever and that’s OK, but it’s very interesting which memories get dredged up when you see a once familiar face.” The track follows lead single “Head is Like a Sinking Stone”, released in early December to praise from Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, and The Needle Drop.
‘Lost on You’ was produced and engineered by longtime collaborator Will Yip at his famed Studio 4 in Philadelphia, continuing what fans have always loved about Tigers Jaw with powerful pounding rhythm sections, melodic leads that shift from instrument to instrument, and interchanging overlapping vocals. The record exists decidedly in the present while remaining deeply embedded in their history, with moments that would feel at home sung along to at the defunct Scranton venue Test Pattern or in huge halls like Philadelphia’s Union Transfer, a venue probably ten times as large that the band now sells out. The scene’s present moment owes a lot to Tigers Jaw, whose contributions have helped pave the way for this entire world as the group continues forward.
