From The Desk Of Tigers Jaw: “The Big Sick”

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: This movie was an amazing look at the clash of different cultures in modern relationships, and how priorities need to shift during times of crisis. It’s an incredible balance of dark themes and comedy. The main character is a standup comedian trying to make a career for himself, and it’s always fascinating for me to see parallels between the standup scene and the touring music scene. I laughed out loud and teared up during different parts of this movie.
