Le Tigre | Le Tigre | CD 1630

Le Tigre's self-titled debut album, released in 1999, is a seminal work in the electroclash and riot grrrl revival scene. The band, formed by feminist icon Kathleen Hanna (formerly of Bikini Kill), Johanna Fateman, and Sadie Benning, infused punk rock energy with electronic beats and samplers to create a distinctive, danceable sound. "Le Tigre" is celebrated for its witty, provocative lyrics that tackle issues like feminism, LGBT rights, and media criticism, wrapped in catchy hooks and vibrant, lo-fi production. Standout tracks like "Deceptacon" and "Hot Topic" exemplify the album's blend of radical activism and infectious pop sensibilities, making it a touchstone for feminist music. The CD version of this album offers a raw, immediate connection to the trio's groundbreaking fusion of music and message.
