Madame ZuZu's Proudly presents the album release show of Kid Tigrrr's 'Stoned + Animald' !

Kid Tigrrr is the new solo project from singer-songwriter and visual artist Jenna Fournier, front-woman of the shoegaze hybrid Niights. Following two studio albums and four international tours to Japan, Fournier parted ways with her record label to venture into audio engineering in pursuit of experimentation with home recording and production. Her debut LP, Stoned + Animald, is an ethereal blend of art-rock, melancholy indie, and dream-pop, painting lush atmospheres around her most intimate writing to date.
The album title, as Fournier explained in a recent interview on NPR, refers to being judged harshly (stoned) and thrust into survival mode (animald.) In a vulnerable effort to challenge stigmas, the Las Vegas-raised artist tackles subjects such as abuse, addiction, and mental health, pushing her horizons both conceptually and sonically.
Kid Tigrrr's first self-produced single, "Shapes of Water," began as an official pedal demo for EarthQuaker Devices and layers intricate guitar lines and textures, landing the artist an endorsement from Reverend Guitars.Her second single, "Scry," is an uncanny track derivative of Slowdive's "Machine Gun," and was released with a personal blessing from Neil Halstead alongside a DIY music video. Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins, a long-time influence of her songwriting and sound, recently recruited Fournier to sing backup on the band's upcoming album, Aghori Mhori Mei, and shouted out her third single, "Skin", in The Guardian. The song garnered attention from around the globe for its universally relatable message of reclaiming one's sense of self. Kid Tigrrr also finds inspiration from Grouper, Mazzy Star, My Bloody Valentine, CocoRosie, Grimes, and The Cure.
"One artist who broke all molds was Jenna Fournier... Be prepared to have your expectations as to what great dream pop can be surpassed and demolished." -
