​
The duo has single-handedly built a worldwide cult following during over a decade of existence, released 6 albums, and toured in 15 countries. In the wake of the global acclaim garnered by their album GLASS, which hit the top of the charts on Bandcamp and was voted one of Louder Than War's top 100 albums of 2022, tAngerinecAt is set to release their new album GRIEF.
​
Originating in Ukraine and residing in North Wales, tAngerinecAt embodies a rich tapestry of musical influences that intertwine West and East. The duo conveys a strong anti-war, anti-fascist, and anti-ecocide message, where the hauntingly intimate allure of dark jazz a cappella coexist with the fierce energy of hammering industrial electronic beats and poignant spoken word. It reflects the profound mastery of Ukrainian-born Zhenia Purpurovsky, a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, arranger, conductor, and actor, in partnership with the visionary sound designer and multi-instrumentalist Paul Chilton who hails from Britain. With a degree in folkloristics, Purpurovsky adeptly juggles rich cultural symbols, creating a tapestry of meaning.

"I’ve never heard anything quite like this... Chilling and Unsettlingly Beautiful... It’s Stunning"
- Adam Walton, BBC Wales, BBC Music Introducing with Adam Walton
​
'Glass is a truly astounding, powerful and highly pertinent piece of work… The outfit fuses electronica and drone with industrial flourishes and beautifully dark songwriting… If it doesn’t get your blood pumping then you may as well check yourself into the crematorium… Over throbbing electronica and a relentless four-to-the-floor beat, tAngerinecAt delivers one of the most exciting pieces of music I’ve heard this year. It is, to use a technical term, an absolute banger.’
– Louder Than War
