An incredibly eclectic, nuanced and perhaps nostalgic record, ‘A Tiger Walks The Streets’ speaks volumes about the talent and artistic integrity contained in Supercaan. Hailing from Birmingham, the post-punk outfit moves at the fringe of rock and new wave, packing a plethora of influences into a sonic picture that’s rather obscure and intense, yet quite elegant in its execution.
Over ten engaging pieces, the group reckons with the reality of our modern world, increasingly fragile and unstable. Interpreted through the perspective of grown men with loved ones to care for, ‘A Tiger Walks The Streets’ seeks to alert the listeners against the increasing danger of an unsustainable existence.
Sonically, we are impressed by the album’s witty and curated sound design. Distortions are never too rough or gritty, managing to stay relatable and friendly, at least concerning the overall dark aura surrounding the tracklist. Hinting modernity through the hidden use of electronic textures, Supercaan ultimately delivers the ultimate melancholic record for all the dreamers and deep thinkers out there.
