Year of the Tiger is a release by Canadian punk band Fucked Up. It is the fifth installment in the band’s long-running Chinese zodiac series, in which the group issues an extended recording for each year of the lunar calendar.[1]
Year of the Tiger was released on February 7, 2012, coinciding with the Chinese New Year, as part of Fucked Up’s ongoing Zodiac singles series.[1] The title track had been completed well before its release, with much of the recording predating work on their 2011 album David Comes to Life.[2]
The release was issued on 12-inch vinyl through Matador Records, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Save the Tiger fund.[2][3]
Composition
The title track, "Year of the Tiger", runs approximately fifteen minutes and features guest contributions from filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, electronic band Austra, and Annie-Claude Deschênes of Duchess Says.[2][4]
The B-side, "Onno", is a twenty-two-minute instrumental composition described by the band as a studio experiment and a "weird rager".[5]
