Tiger Really is an emo newcomer band fronted by singer/songwriter Lian Shao, creating a complex and powerful blend of jazz and emo. The Vancouver-based band debuted in 2021 with their Rites of Spring EP and have since signed with Counter Intuitive Records for their upcoming debut album. They've shared a string of new singles since last year, and today they're back with another new track, “Fundamentally Unloveable.”
“Fundamentally Unloveable” sees the band strike a careful balance between intense singing and desolate confessional weight. The track opens with a busy and melodic guitar part, building an instantly catchy element to the track, even as tense confessional vocals and lofi touches add an overall sheen. Shao's vocals are caustic and spiraling, sometimes rumbling through messy confessions and at other points rising to ready-made choruses, only to later retreat for a simmering interlude of spoken word.
Shao explains of the track, “This song is about sadness, self-sabotage, and feeling like your emotions are out of control. My personal context for this is a relationship I had with an exchange student from England in my final year of university.
I wrote the song mostly in the time surrounding it, there were a lot of other things going on in life and family besides the grief of losing that person that I was dealing with in really unhealthy ways. I was entering a cycle of isolation, substance abuse, self-harm and making impulsive and reckless decisions that unintentionally hurt people I truly loved and cared about.”
