From The Desk Of Tigers Jaw: Transcendental Meditation

Spin, Tigers Jaw‘s latest album, is a glowing set of pop/rock tunes that denotes a shift in the band’s timeline. As the first release for producer Will Yip’s Atlantic Records imprint Black Cement, Spin is Tigers Jaw at its most composed and polished. But Brianna Collins and Ben Walsh still build upon their penchant for dizzying, unexpected hooks and bare, honest songwriting. Tigers Jaw will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our Q&A with them.

Walsh: I became better acquainted with this type of meditation after reading David Lynch’s Catching The Big Fish. In a basic sense, you meditate in a quiet environment by repeating a mantra. The deep level of concentration and inner peace is very appealing to me. I haven’t been able to reach a state of enlightenment that is described in the book, nor am I fully convinced it’s possible, but I am going to keep trying!
