Jet Jaguar - Is Love

Review by Jorge Grippo

Jet Jaguar's latest album, Is Love, is a mesmerizing blend of electronic and indie rock that showcases the band's versatility and musical prowess. From the opening track "Time Traveler" to the closing notes of "The Last Kiss," the album takes listeners on a journey through various moods and emotions, all while maintaining a cohesive sound.

The standout tracks on the album include "Electricity," which features a catchy synth riff and a pulsating rhythm that will get anyone dancing, and "Lost in Translation," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's more introspective side. The album also features guest appearances from talented artists such as Kye Kye and Fleurie, adding even more depth and variety to the already impressive collection of songs.

About Jet Jaguar

Solo project of New Zealand downbeat electronic producer , releasing under this name since 1996. Taking his name from a Godzilla movie, Jet Jaguar arrives from the sampledelic world of funk, hip-hop and dub. A world that borrows riffs, drum patterns and vocals from the past in order to funk them up, to create, and move forward. Upton is steeped in this reflexive approach, lacing tracks with old school samples, odd radio samples and nano-blips from who knows where. Low-end bass theory informs the sub-structure of the Jet Jaguar sound. Inspired by 70s dub producers and hip-hop, he sees no point in emulating them, instead borrowing aspects of the dubspace programme to pan, echo and stretch space and time. Upton eschews the cliches of genre to create a new and fully integrated electronic reflexive sound.
