Retrofuture is the sixth studio album by Tiger Army, and the second with producer Ted Hutt, and was released on September 13, 2019.[1] Lead vocalist Nick 13 said the album had a more stripped and guitar-driven production than the band's previous releases.[2] They also say they used vintage equipment in the recording to get a retro 1950s sound.[3] The album features a range of songs in modernized bygone genres, such as classic rock n’ roll, spaghetti-western and doo-wop.[4]
