''Tiger Suit'' is the third studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall which features more contemporary ingredients than her previous work. Several tracks such as "Push That Knot Away" harness electronic beats to her acoustic guitar. It was released by Relentless Records in Ireland on 24 September 2010, in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2010 and in the United States and Canada on 5 October 2010. It was released in Europe on the 22 and 25 October 2010. The Japanese edition, released on 22 September, features two additional tracks: a cover of LCD Soundsystem's "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" and "It Doesn't Have To Be Like This (Baby)" "Fade Like a Shadow" was lead single in the United States and was released on 6 August 2010 via iTunes, while "(Still a) Weirdo" in the United Kingdom was released on 26 September 2010 via iTunes. On July 2010, as advance to the album, Tunstall uploaded via YouTube a non-single video for the song "Push That Knot Away". On 13 December 2010, KT Tunstall made a collaborative video for "Glamour Puss" with fans. On 25 December 2013, over three years after the album release, and even after her fourth studio album Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon release, Tunstall re-released a song from Tiger Suit as a last single : "Come On, Get In". == Background == On 11 February 2010〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KT Tunstall to play gig in aid of Haiti earthquake victims )〕 reported that, "KT Tunstall has recorded her new album in Berlin's famous Hansa studio. The studio, beside the site of the Berlin Wall, was used to make legendary albums including David Bowie's Heroes and U2's Achtung Baby. KT said: "I had an amazing three weeks recording in Hansa in Berlin in January and am finishing it all off in London." The Scots singer, who has been quiet of late, reassured fans she has been busy. She added: "I am still very much alive and have every music-making limb and muscle working in my laboratory of fierce-new-album-ness." Before her album comes out, KT played a stripped-down set at the Haiti fundraising gig at the Roundhouse in Camden on Thursday 25 February. She hoped to jump up with her old pal Seasick Steve for a song or two. Kt added: "My shizzle will feature some new faces and definitely some new songs, so come and have a listen and chuck some dough at a good cause." She stated down the line from a promo stop in Minneapolis that she doesn't write on tour, "so it was essential that I took time out from her previous album ''Drastic Fantastic''". She had started her time off by travelling through the Arctic, South America and India, so she had locked into a very primal, indigenous spirit by the time it came to recording. Tunstall said that the album's title is inspired by a recurring dream she had, before discovering that 2010 is the Chinese Year of the Tiger.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KT Tunstall to launch new album with series of intimate, free gigs across Scotland )〕 The dream is about her and her little brother, seeing a tiger in her garden and goes outside to stroke it. She returns indoors and is seized by the fear that she could have been killed. Over the years, it has occurred to her that the reason the tiger responds so passively is that she herself is disguised as a tiger, wearing a tiger suit. She said that while writing and recording the album, she found a new sound she called "Nature techno", which mixes organic instrumentation with electronic and dance textures. At a media showcase in London, KT Tunstall offered an unusual description of the songs from her forthcoming third album: "Like Eddie Cochran working with Leftfield". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tiger Suit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
