Jagwar Ma is a psychedelic dance band that originated from Sydney, Australia, gaining notable success and recognition in the indie and alternative music scenes. The band was formed in 2011 by multi-instrumentalist and producer Jono Ma, vocalist Gabriel Winterfield, and bassist Jack Freeman (who later left the group). Known for their innovative blend of 1960s rock and 1990s dance music, Jagwar Ma's sound is characterized by their creative use of synthesizers, looping techniques, and vocal harmonies, creating a distinctive blend of past and present musical styles.
Their debut album, "Howlin'," released in 2013, was met with critical acclaim, putting them on the map as one of the most exciting new acts to watch. Followed by "Every Now & Then" in 2016, the band solidified their reputation for crafting infectious grooves and psychedelic soundscapes. Tracks such as "O B 1," "Give Me a Reason," and "Slipping" showcase their ability to fuse elements of electronic music with rock sensibilities. Through their vibrant live performances and creative remixes, like "Give Me a Reason (Michael Mayer Does the Amoeba Remix)," Jagwar Ma has continued to experiment with their sound, engaging a wide range of audiences and earning a dedicated following in the process. Their contributions to the music scene highlight an ongoing exploration of sound that pays homage to their influences while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.
