Lemon Mouth - Tigers Jaw

Genres: indie rock, emo, emo pop

Released as the second single for Tigers Jaw's 6th studio album I Won't Care How You Remember Me (2021), Lemon Mouth is a charming and honest self-reflection by vocalist Brianna Collins. The lyrics are a painfully relatable stream of consciousness, highlighting odd habits and nitpicks we all experience towards ourselves — be it forgetfulness, overthought, clumsiness, or a tendency to chase stray threads. All of this winds, at it's core, to self-acceptance and putting aside self-doubt.

Collins' vocal performance is smooth, warm and sunny, yet holds a melancholic quality, giving wonderful character to the track. The instrumentals match her energy perfectly, coasting alongside on a very persistant drum beat and guitars that hold a distinct flavour of early 2010's emo.

Overall, Lemon Mouth has been one of my favorite songs of the year, and I hope you can give it a listen when you get the time.
