Tigress announce debut album Pura Vida, share new single Disconnect

Watch Tigress' new video for Disconnect, taken from their upcoming debut album Pura Vida.

Chelmsford rock gang Tigress have confirmed details of their debut album, and shared a brand-new single.

The band's upcoming debut LP Pura Vida follows a trio of EPs – 2015's Human, 2017's Like It Is and 2018's Who Cares – and is due out on September 3 via Humble Angel Records.

"The album is about confronting everything you don’t like about yourself, turning it into something you love, and leading a pure life from there," explains vocalist Katy Jackson explains, adding that a holiday to Costa Rica inspired the title and a fresh new mindset.

"That trip changed me," she says. "It made me realise how I was so self-absorbed. It made me think I wanted to live a purer life."

Of brand-new single Disconnect – which seems to tie in with the record's themes as a whole – Katy reveals: "When the instrumental for Disconnect landed in my inbox, I immediately started writing about how unplugged I felt from reality, I had experienced life at its fullest and most connected and then dumped back into such a lonely and isolated existence."
