Jagwar Ma Announce Debut Album, Stream ‘Man I Need’

Neu favourites Jagwar Ma have announced plans to release their debut album, ‘Howlin’, on 10th June via. Marathon Artists.

The album features ‘With Love’, ‘Come Save Me’ and ‘The Throw’, previously unveiled tracks that hint at a disparately-inspired album all connected by an overwhelming party atmosphere.

New song ‘Man I Need’ confirms as much. Its “white label version” spans a whole nine-and-a-half minutes, going from bold choruses to semi-prog mid-sections, right back to a four-minute, percussion-infused frenzy that never looks like letting up. There’s even room for a little bit of birdsong towards the end. Hell, these guys throw everything into their tracks.

In a recent DIY interview with David Zammitt, the band said of the record: “The album – it’s weird. There are songs that sound like all kinds of stuff. There’s the 60s thing, which we love, then both of us are massive fans of the Beastie Boys and shit like that. Their beats, the rhythms, and then the humour in it, which is really cool. And then there are parts that are like KLF – the techno. It kind of verges on that as well.”
