Mary Timony announces her first solo album in over a decade, Untame the Tiger

Accompanying the album's announcement is the lead single, "Dominoes" – a cynical and funny description of a relationship not working out, and a reminder of the healing power of music. “This song was almost not on the record,” says Timony. “We needed one last song, and I found a demo of it I had forgotten about at the last minute.” Mixed by Dave Fridmann (MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), “Dominoes” features album contributors David Christian (Karen O, Hospitality) on drums and album co-producer Dennis Kane on bass.

The album was recorded during a two-year period during which she was the primary caregiver for her ailing parents.

“This was the hardest thing I’ve been through. Every week I had to manage a new crisis," she explains. "I started realising that I gotta control the things that I can. Because I was making impossible decisions on behalf of my parents, creative choices now seemed more manageable. Since I had to confront the reality of loss, I realised what was important to me about being alive, and I became less scared. The record became my anchor in a time when I was losing so much around me. It felt like all I had—a guide that helped me through, and gave me hope."
