Jagwar Ma – Man I Need

Jagwa-Ma

Jagwar Ma are Jono Ma, Gabriel Winterfield, and Jack Freeman from Sydney, Australia. They formed in 2011. Their music is easily comparable to the Madchester and Baggy music genres of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Noel Gallagher recently praised the band, stating that listening to Jagwar Ma’s debut album, ‘Howlin’, is more important than an Oasis reunion.

Check out their latest single, ‘Man I Need’, which is a psychedelic-indietronic track taken from their debut album ‘Howlin’, which is out 10th June 2013 on Marathon Artists and is available for purchase here.

‘Howlin’ was recorded in a remote town in North France, with just the two of them, an 808, a Fender Jaguar, a laptop, a pair of vintage Neve console channels, and some high powered sound systems.
