Tigers and Hummingbirds is the fifth studio album by Berlin-based singer Yael Nachshon Levin and her second on LowSwing Records, following the successful Shining Long After They're Gone from 2019.

On this album, Yael is telling her private story of dealing with a complex post-traumatic stress disorder, the music portraying her journey from pain and wounds toward hope during the healing process. During the songwriting process Yael was mentored by legendary bass player Greg Cohen who contributed his experience of many years playing with Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman, Lou Reed and more.

Together with producer Guy Sternberg ,Yael gathers around her a dream band of no less than 20 top notch musicians including Earl Harvin (Jeff Beck, Air, Seal), Justin Stanton (Snarky Puppy), Mor Biron (Berlin Philharmonic), Haggai Cohen Milo (Omer Klein Trio), and Thomas Moked Blum (Fink, Patricia Kaas).

The album was recorded over the course of four days at the legendary Emil Berliner Studios, Yael and her band played live in the same room which allowed them to musically communicate in the most intimate and free way. The result is a fascinating musical experience, adorably honest, heartfelt and direct.

These special moments were captured on analogue tape and have remained in the analogue domain all the way to the vinyl itself.

Tigers and Hummingbirds is available on 140g audiophile vinyl in co-operation with famous HiFi manufacturer Brinkmann Audio.

Singer/songwriter Yael Nachshon Levin was born in Israel, and had her musical education in the famous New School University in NYC where she studied with legends such as Sheila Jordan, Reggie Workman and Jane Ira Bloom. Yael is also the founder and curator of the nonprofit cultural salon FRAMED in Berlin.
