Tigercub Release ‘Faking Laughter’ Video

Tigercub have released a lyric video for Faking Laughter, the final track to be taken from their recently released Evolve or Die EP that is out now on Alcopop! Records, and a commentary on the relentless “fake news” cycle that bombards us daily. Tigercub will be playing an upscaled headline show on the 18th January at London’s The Scala and the following day the trio will play their biggest hometown show to date at Concorde 2 in Brighton. The band have also revealed their own limited edition craft beer in partnership with Signature Brew which will be available at the forthcoming live shows.

Tigercub frontman Jamie Hall released this statement about the track and it’s video

Faking laughter is about coping with the absurdity of our post-satire news cycle. We now live in a culture where our politicians and public figures are feeding us bullshit every day, and we all know it’s bullshit, but instead of doing anything we just dutifully carry on with our lives as if it’s not actually happening. It feels like things are so out of control now – the only way to function is to be completely apathetic and indifferent to what we see. For the video I cut the song to early computer graphic animations from the 60s & 70s myself. I thought it would work well to contrast old programmed visions of the future as a backdrop to my own surreal/escapist take on life today. I also ran the track through an Oscilloscope – which is a frequency visualiser – to emphasise the cyclic hypnotic feel to the song. “
