Tigers Jaw explore anxiety and relationships on excellent new song ‘Guardian’.

Tigers Jaw offered new song ‘Guardian’ as one that deals with “the struggle of being someone’s support system while dealing with your own anxieties and issues.”

A densely layered track that continues the bands formidable alliance with the excellent Will Yip (Title Fight, La Dispute), it deftly explores the negative effects of channeling your focus on someone else to the neglect of your own mental state.

New album ‘spin’, out May 19, will mark the bands first release since the departure of four of its members (including former singer and guitarist Adam McIlwee).

Brilliantly hooky, with a warmth typical of the newer Tigers Jaw sound, ‘Guardian’ nods firmly to The Cure, safely standing up against everything else that has come before it from the Pennsylvania emo band.
