Last month, Tigers Jaw revealed plans to release a new album in 2026. With ‘Lost on You’ due to be released on March 27th via Hopeless Records, the quintet have shared its second single – ‘Ghost’.
It exemplifies Tigers Jaw‘s driving sound, featuring punchy drums by Teddy Roberts. It also includes a stellar lead guitar courtesy of Mark Lebiecki. Inspired by a chance encounter, the song captures the feeling of briefly slipping back into an old life, yet Ben Walsh’s narrative hints at letting go of the past.
“The genesis of ‘Ghost’ was a chance run-in with a person I grew up with,” Tigers Jaw‘s vocalist and guitarist explains. “A run-in that would have been warm, welcomed and cherished at one point in my life held no significance after the slow steady passage of time and growing apart. The quick flash of memories with this person felt like a glimpse into a past life, or like seeing a ghost. Some people don’t stay in your life forever, and that’s OK, but it’s very interesting which memories get dredged up when you see a once familiar face.”
‘Lost On You’ sees Tigers Jaw work with longtime collaborator Will Yip (Turnstile, Movements).
