Tiger in the Garden

Tiger Lotiss grew up with the idea that if you work hard and do well, and things will work out. For a lot of people his age, that hasn't quite held up. "Tiger in the Garden" is where he puts that down and steps forward as an artist in his own right. Considering the cost-of-living, the inspiration for the song came in a supermarket aisle, standing in front of a $10 mango. "How did we get here?" The song is a way of thinking about holding onto joy and creativity while carrying the everyday pressure of just getting by. It's a soulful, jazz-infused track built around a loose, late-night bassline, with Tiger's own falsetto carrying the melody. Produced by Tiger himself and engineered by Sebastian Judd of Chequered Patterns, it all about the groove and the performance. It's a song for anyone who's had to put a piece of themselves aside just to get by, and a statement of arrival from Tiger Lotiss.
