Review: 'Jaguwar'
'Gold'   

-  Label: 'Tapete Records'
-  Genre: 'Pop' -  Release Date: '22.10.21.'

Our Rating:
Gold is the second album by Jaguwar a trio from Berlin and Dresden who make futuristic synthesized doom pop that's ready for a post pandemic party.

The album opens with the slick synthesized pop of Battles a song of love lust and how things aren't always right, catchy and in places like an acidic Sparks pop salvo.

Monuments has a glitchy seductive funktoid dark dense dancefloor twister for the next society, as they destroy the monuments of a previous world pre the new beginning, it is a far safer space and place than the one we had before anthemically moving forwards.

St Lucia Island is a dreamscape of glitchy moods and tech-tonic shifts, dance progressions and indie beach dance funk degradations whispering through the palms chasing the dreams sometime after the rum punch has worked it's magic and you lie back and chill right out into some magical ethereal bongo zone.

Gold is the first single and title track a cool slice of Shoegaze meets dream pop drumming on into the bass reality of someone who should feel like they are Gold but obviously don't, the vocals have a gently autotuned edge as they try to put aside the doubts and become Gold.

Ghosts is doom funk chamber of delights, dappled memories of times and places gone shimmering into the past while looking to the future, transmitting and transitioning to a new dimension and different space all together.

Naked stutters into your space stringing together the world through a story and winter is coming blasting through them slowly, rising and hoping for comfort and relief as the keyboards shift and insinuate themselves into your mind.

The album closes with Glam And Gloom a song to dress up to despair, a lip gloss and kohl eyed plea for a party to mope away the pain of the post pandemic shifting world, never forget to be glam among all the gloom of these times.
