Drawing inspiration from a wide range of cultures and musical traditions, C’mon Tigre is a dynamic duo that develops its identity into a collective of musicians and artists from all over the world.

With a commitment to pushing boundaries and creating immersive sonic experiences with strong cinematic imagery, C’mon Tigre has translated this musical wonder into a visual form since its inception in 2014. They have released five albums to this day, earning critical acclaim and a loyal international following.

Along the years, they have collaborated with musicians such as Colin Stetson, Seun Kuti, Arto Lindsay, Xênia França and artists Gianluigi Toccafondo, Harri Peccinotti, Danijel Žeželj and Paolo Pellegrin to name a few.

TEN, which stands for Tenth Edition Newness, is an expanded edition of their iconic Self Titled debut album, which was initially published in 2015 through Africantape on a vinyl pressing of 301 copies. It sold out quickly, was later repressed by the band and sold out again.

Today, it finds its chance to be reissued with the Computer Students™ treatment and will be released worldwide on April 11, 2025. The physical reprint will be released concurrently with the digital release of Live at Tpo 2015, which documents the band’s first live show with nine musicians on stage. The performance was captured on tape in Bologna, Italy on February 7, 2015.

TEN was mastered by Giovanni Versari in 2014 and cut for Computer Students™ by Kassian Troyer in Berlin, late 2024. Fans will love this revised version, which sounds substantially better than the original. The album’s expansion features a slightly altered record cover in addition to a booklet with a number of writings and images showcasing the band’s artistic inventiveness at its peak.

TEN will be offered on double black vinyl, audiophile quality pressing 180-gram running at 33rpm, inside a reversed, 6mm spine gatefold cover alongside a massive 12-page booklet. The entire package is housed in a unique heat-sealed aluminum Type-2 foil bag, courtesy of Computer Students™.

A limited edition of 190 copies will be available at a selection of shows this year as well as from the Computer Students™ website.

TEN is available for pre-order at the following link: https://cmptrstdnts.com/ten/

This is a story about an eccentric football team, their dances and magical shoes set on a sandy playground surrounded by animals. The music video was animated, painted & directed by the Italian artist Gianluigi Toccafondo, there is no keyframing, no filters no post production, over 5000 frames hand painted.

“Federation Tunisienne De Football / Live at Tpo 2015” was recorded in Bologna, Italy on February 7, 2015. It was captured during C’mon Tigre’s first live show with nine musicians on stage. The song, which has gained widespread recognition over time, comes from the band’s Self Titled debut album, which Computer Students™ is reissuing on double vinyl this year.
