Brighton band TIGERCUB have announced the release of their new EP Evolve or Die, out September 29th on Alcopop! Records. The record will be available on a limited edition red vinyl as well as digital. To coincide with the news, TIGERCUB have also shared a new track titled ‘The Divided States of Us’. A manic delivery of post punk, indie and electronica, the song is a spot-on reflection of what’s happening with the state of the world regarding politics and general moral.
Touching on the new single, singer Jamie Hall stated:
“There are two sides to ‘Divided States of Us’ – the literal meaning and the metaphorical. Politically I feel like things are almost 50/50 split at the moment, there’s no longer a centre ground, but it’s also about having a divided mental state internally.
A lot of people are frustrated right now and that’s definitely how I feel. The song’s kind of about how opposites can exist as the same thing in your psyche, how there can be hypocrisy in your own head where you’re totally at odds with yourself; being confused and not being able to fully commit to an idea, logic against emotion, constantly pulling away from each other. The song has no answers to our problems, but it’s about empathy. We’re together in that cathartic creation with other people who have been through that shared experience.”
