MCD Productions presents Tigercub
Sat, Oct 17th 2026
Jamie Hall was staring out the window, letting his mind wander, when a phrase landed in his imagination: “Nets to Catch the Wind.” It was fleeting, almost accidental, but it resonated. It sounded expansive, cinematic, and full of possibility. It sounded like Tigercub.
“The Perfume of Decay was our midnight confession,” Hall reflects. “A gothic, heavy-metal record steeped in anxiety and noise. Nets To Catch The Wind is the dawn that follows, the white-light record set in the space between dreaming and waking. We built whole worlds out of darkness, and this record is about learning to live in the light even when you know it will not last.”
Recorded over nine days at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales, where Queen, Rush, and Oasis famously wrote records, Nets To Catch The Wind captures Tigercub at their most cinematic and unrestrained. Many core takes were tracked live, preserving the raw chemistry of the Brighton trio, Jamie Hall on vocals and guitar, Jimi Wheelwright on bass, and James Allix on drums, resulting in an album that is both immediate and transcendent. Produced by Tom Dalgety, known for his work with Royal Blood, Ghost, and Pixies, the record pushes the band into expansive, textured territory, exploring dynamics, space, and emotion in new ways.
The album features a co-write with Dom Craik of Nothing But Thieves and a spoken word performance from Neil Fallon of Clutch, expanding Tigercub’s sonic landscape. Stone Gossard, guitarist for Pearl Jam and co-founder of Loosegroove Records, guided the band through the creative process, helping them channel chaos into clarity. “Stone was there every step of the way,” Hall says. “He helped us zoom out and see the bigger picture when we were lost in the details.” Gossard adds, “I would put Jamie Hall’s winding mega riffs up against anyone in rock. And he can fricking sing like a badass at the same time. Wow.”
The lead single, “Fall In Fall Out,” exemplifies Tigercub’s signature style, heavy, hypnotic, and emotionally charged. Hall describes it as “love unraveling in slow motion. Faith and doubt tangled in the same breath. It is about the futility of holding on and the contradiction of wanting what destroys you.”
Following the critical success of The Perfume of Decay, which drew praise from SPIN, Guitar World, Rock Sound, CLASH, DORK, and more, Tigercub’s new album further defines their dark, dynamic sound, bridging fans of Muse, Royal Blood, and Queens of the Stone Age. With over 47 million streams worldwide and a reputation for crushing live performances, the Brighton trio continues to push the boundaries of modern rock.
