Jaguar Sun + Husbands
Jaguar Sun is a solo project created by multi-instrumentalist Chris Minielly, now performing live with a full band. Weaving together inspiration from bands such as STRFKR, Youth Lagoon, and Panda Bear, Minielly creates dreamy, pop-centric soundscapes with experimental flair.
The Ontario-based artist allows his instruments to speak equally with his voice, urging listeners to get lost in richly layered guitar lines and deep, droning synths. Minielly is set to release his second LP, All We've Ever Known, in 2022 on Born Losers Records, followed by a tour of the U.S. and Canada.
Husbands is a landlocked beach-pop band that sidequests Krautrock, garage rock, and tropicália. On its latest LP, After the Gold Rush Party, the Oklahoma City band also dabbles in no wave and ’90s-inspired pop, recommended if you like anything from Fleetwood Mac to MGMT, Beach House to the Beach Boys. Lyrically, songwriters Danny Davis and Wil Norton tackle what it means to be punk while working a 9-to-5 and trying to find zen in an anxious world.
