Jagwar Ma "The Throw" - baggy pastiche or bona fide jam?

This is lot better than I expected, but it's definitely more enjoyable when it veers towards 1991 and not 1996.

Also this really needs its running order shuffled around, there are some great extended blissed-out jams that have their mood spoiled by a Britpoppy guitar lick and some jarring vocals coming in straight afterwards.

Maybe I haven't heard enough Happy Mondays or whatever, but what this album most reminds me of is late-period Beck.

I heard this today (Come And Save Me) in an Old Navy and was struck enough to google to find out what it was. More than anything, it reminds me of Adventures In Stereo, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence. Interestingly, smack in the middle of Flatbush Brooklyn, half the store was singing along to the chorus. A very non-gentrified part of Flatbush.

Timely revive, considering they released a new track today.

Saw this band a couple of times at festivals a few summers ago and was really impressed. Interested to see what they come up with next although in recorded form they haven't really connected with me.
