After stepping back to focus on his indie-rock project Little Lies, he made a full return in 2024 and quickly recaptured the form that’s made him an international favourite, returning three times to Rekids since.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rekids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606298411164,"sku":"REKIDS299","price":14.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/9_3f325669-83b8-4df0-8304-161b6b4f191e.jpg?v=1789482070","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/tiger-stripes-a-tiger-never-loses-its-stripes-part-1","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
