Jagwar Ma's debut Howlin, out in 2013, comes from a Sydney band formed in 2011 that treats psychedelia as something to dance to. Gabriel Winterfield sings and plays guitar, Jono Ma handles guitar, beats, synths and production, and bassist Jack Freeman came aboard in 2012. The name is a tongue-in-cheek mash-up of "jaguar" and Jono's surname.
Howlin sounds like a sunburnt rave in a garage: looping grooves, trippy vocal harmonies and electronics that pulse and swirl until the line between rock band and DJ set dissolves. "Uncertainty" is the standout, a hypnotic, blissed-out swirl, while "Man I Need" rides a tough, rubbery groove with a pop hook on top. They signed with Mom+Pop in the US, Marathon Artists in Europe and Future Classic at home to put it out.
The second album, Every Now and Then, followed on 14 October 2016.
