Former members of Seattle-based favorite Carissa’s Wierd to release long-delayed album as Figg

NEWS

Figg, the Seattle-based duo of Robin Peringer and Gilden Tunador, was originally scheduled to release its debut album a decade ago. Peringer’s musical past is like a giant quilt of the Northwest music scene, having played guitar in Modest Mouse, 764-HERO, Love as Laughter and many more luminaries of the region.

When he teamed up with Tunador, the duo found local admiration and ultimately national attention as part of the (intentionally misspelled) band Carissa’s Wierd.

It seemed like the right moment for Figg’s debut. Unfortunately shoved, then shelved, the album’s champions went away, a music industry story heard too many times. Jump to a decade later, and now, a new moment has emerged for Peringer and Tunador.

Figg’s self-titled debut, sounding fresh as ever, will finally see a national record release, following a brief stint online that earned the album's lead track a 2017 "Song of The Day" nod from Seattle's KEXP, on June 12th, 2020.
