TIGERMOTH - GUNG FU HD

Gung Fu is Tigermoth’s latest release on Hydrofunk Records/KEEP THE FEEL ENT. http://hydrofunk.com.au/ https://keepthefeel.bandcamp.com/ Made during a period of introspection after learning a family tragedy, he embarked on a journey of self reflection through meditation and Qi Gong. The output of this heritage was “Gung Fu”, which sees him combining his love of Hip Hop, and Eastern Philosophies, together with the martial arts film and television of his childhood. Utilising traditional eastern samples, 60s and 70s Bollywood soundtracks, along with zen themed vocal narratives, Gung Fu could best be described as RZA meets Tarrantino somewhere in a Shaolin Temple. It is the soundtrack of an as yet realised film, or the musical version of a graphic novel. Over the course of the album Tigermoth evokes his Tiger spirit, one of the 5 animal styles of kung fu, and explores ideas of good and evil, turmoil and peace. Themes eternally relevant, and ever-present, particularly in today’s world of conflict and polarities. Tigermoth manages to do this without heavy handedness, and paradoxically, with a gentle humour and sensibilities. Traits that are often only achieved by those who have found purpose and an inner peace.
