“Shapes of Water” (Kid Tigrrr song) – Queen City Sounds and Art

Kid Tigrrr guitar figures flow into languid eddys of sound in the beginning of “Shapes of Water” and as the musician layers the guitar we hear a hint of electronic percussion counting out the paces. Hushed, breathy vocals reminiscent of Fever Ray circa The Knife’s more tender moments or of Jenny Hval add a dreamlike and reflective tone to the song the effect multiplied by deeply evocative imagery of the music video. We see projections of colors and of light reflected on rippling water, of abstract environments in which Kid Tigrrr sways and gestures when not actively executing the music. And in the end there is a touch of reverse delay in the guitar loop concluding the song on a lingeringly entrancing note.
