Spin (Tigers Jaw album)

Spin (stylized in all lowercase) is the fifth studio album by American rock band Tigers Jaw.

Justin Anstoltz acted as assistant engineer; Yip and Vince Ratti mixed the recordings, before the album was mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in New York City.

[4] Walsh said that he and Collins had discussed how to make the album and "what felt the most like Tigers Jaw ... the initial version of the band was just two people writing and recording everything".

[3] Discussing his relationship with the band, Yip said Spin was the better album, compared to Charmer, "not because of my input, just because of everyone’s openness and everyone trying to do the best thing for the record".

Collins said it was "really hard to see her go through [that]" so she "wanted to write a song that showed how friendship can make a difference in feeling strong enough to leave relationships that are damaging".

[9] He mentioned that the panned acoustic guitars were done in homage to the Microphones, a band that has been cited as a massive influence to Tigers Jaw.

[12] Spin was released on May 19 through Atlantic Records-affiliated label Black Cement Records, which is run by Yip.

[15] The video features the band visiting Penn Hills Resort, located in the Pocono Mountains.

[14] Collins did not want the video to be an interpretation of the lyrics, instead opting for "something that was visually interesting, pretty dry, and quirky in humor" in the vein of Wes Anderson and David Lynch.

[17] Later that month, the band released a video for "Escape Plan", directed by Josh Coll and John Komar of Foxing.
