KID TIGRRR is the new solo project of singer-songwriter Jenna Fournier, a painter/visual artist best known for fronting the shoegaze hybrid NIIGHTS, which formed in 2010. Following three studio releases and four international tours to Japan with her band, Fournier parted ways with her record label and ventured into audio engineering to experiment with home music production in 2020.

Her first single, dubbed by the artist an 'anti-single,' is a haunting, hypnotic piece unfolding over nearly seven minutes. The song 'Shapes of Water' began as an official demo for EarthQuaker Devices' Aqueduct vibrato pedal, and then evolved into a set staple performed with live-looping. It was later recorded live for Dreamgaze Fest, a world-wide music festival presented virtually by DKFM Shoegaze Radio during the pandemic. Jenna then went on to track the song at home, adding layers of electronics into the soundscape. Earlier this year, Fournier's vision was fully manifested with the addition of live drums to finish off the recording, resulting in an ethereal blend of ambient post-rock that explores themes of cycles and regeneration.

'Shapes of Water' is the first track released from Kid Tigrrr's upcoming debut LP, Stoned and Animald. Lyrically, the album courageously tackles heavy topics including mental health, abuse, and addiction.  Fournier's most personal work to date is also her first musical release she recorded and produced largely by herself. Finding inspiration from her long-time DIY hero Grouper,  she set out to make something minimal in the way of clean, sparkly, dark bedroom-dream-pop, but the project grew into something much more layered than she initially envisioned over the course of three years in the making. The finished album is experimental yet polished, maintaining the shoegaze influence heard in her band while embracing her early folk roots as a songwriter.
