Tigercub releasing ‘The Perfume of Decay (Redux)’, episode re-visits interviews from May & September 2023

Brighton, UK’s Tigercub is releasing The Perfume of Decay (Redux) on March 28, 2025. 

The album is a reimagined version of The Perfume of Decay, which was Tigercub’s third album released on June 2, 2023, via Loosegroove Records, the label co-founded by Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard. 

The ‘Redux’ version features new, stripped-down arrangements.

They’ve sharing some of the tunes on their social media, most recently alongside a haunting video of ‘Play My Favorite Song’, which looks like it was shot in an old attic, filled with cobwebs, really a grainy, cryptic aesthetic, which is just amazing and absolutely on point with front man Jamie Hall’s vibe and art. 

You can pre-order now at Loosegroove Records website, lsgrv.com.

For a bit of context, we recently started publishing our interviews for SWOMP on an array of different platforms, basically wherever you can listen to your podcasts, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Podbean, Player FM, Podchaser, Listen Notes and BoomPlay. 

Up to this point we’d just been uploading our interviews to YouTube and of course embedding them onto SWOMP.ca.

So as opposed to just dumping all of our interviews onto these new podcast channels in bulk, we wanted to slowly re-issue some of our favorite ones, but at the same time, share new information or the latest news of the different bands, musicians and artists that we’ve spoken to.

So the stars aligned with this first episode.

‘Redux’ album from Tigercub?

Time to start re-issuing our interviews into this new podcast format!

The episode features a LIVE interview Dana did with Tigercub on September 21, 2023, when we first met the band and right after their opening performance at the Louder Than Life Music Festival in Louisville, Kentucky.

The episode concludes with a May 2023 interview, even prior to the release of Perfume of Decay, with Dana and Tigercub front man Jamie Hall. 

They go in depth about the making of the record, signing with Loosegroove Records.
