“A Tiger Walks the Streets” is Supercaan’s latest album, which is a journey through the band’s deepest fears and reflections that culminate in a rich tapestry of sound and emotion. The album is densely packed with pop songs that connect with listeners on many levels, drawing influences from various genres inclusive of 80s indie, post-rock, shoegaze and contemporary anthemic rock.
Greg Milner who serves as frontman was once a professional photographer, hence his artistic skills are clearly seen on their albums cover artwork. The painted wooden toy blocks depicted on the art work represent both childhood blissfulness and society’s unbending structure. These songs each tackle different events in human life; Zoetrope observes double standards sharply while Everything Collapses reflects inwardly over loss.
Although it has deeply dark themes, A Tiger Walks The Streets demonstrates Supercaan’s dedication to truthfulness and showing themselves to people. Whitfield says: “We really wanted to make this album for ourselves. It’s nearly four minutes before you hear a vocal; we didn’t write it for Spotify Algorithms or radio playlists.” In fact, every note here reflects upon dedication to staying true unto oneself resulting into profound personal involvement while listening.
All in all ,”A Tiger Walks The Streets“ demonstrates how Supercaan have grown as a band and constructed music which can emotionally affect an audience long after they have finished listening. This album cements Supercaan’s place as one of the most impassioned and captivating acts currently in music, combining soulful poetry with psychedelic indie rock and electronic structures.
