about

The album (based on the poem “Les Litanies de Satan” by Charles Baudelaire) suggests that Satan experienced injustice and perhaps we should have pity for outcasts like him. Is Satan really the despicable figure he is usually thought of?

Singer and songwriter Martyn Jacques says that Baudlaire was the main attraction, and the famous writer way of looking from a different perspective at Satan seemed intriguing. “I liked it, a sympathetic look at the evil one. Not actually believing they’re evil at all. Seeing them as more of a victim. So I took the poem and set it to music.”

As always with a touch of twisted humor and sharp irony, The Tiger Lillies "point an implicit accusing finger back at us: what on Earth are we doing, laughing at this stuff?". Their music is a mixture of pre-war Berlin cabaret, anarchic opera and gypsy music, echoing the voices of Bertolt Brecht and Jacques Brel. The Tiger Lillies shock, amuse and entertain in a postmodern vaudeville way, with their inimitable in-yer-face shows, where no taboo should be taken for granted.

In their 30 year career The Tiger Lillies have never been afraid to sing about death, disease, pestilence and misery.
The Tiger Lillies have worked on the album in isolation in Athens.

The band’s next scheduled concert is at Wilton’s Music Hall in East London in February 2021.

Like many artists around the world, The Tiger Lillies are watching and waiting until live performances are allowed to resume.
Please support the Tiger Lillies during these uncertain and challenging times by purchasing the album.
