Brothertiger: A House of Many Ghosts

John Jagos began his recording career under the name Brothertiger back in Toledo, OH during the balmy summer of 2009. However, he began recording indie-electronic music in 2006 as Monoteque, which was an experimental project characterized mainly by it's tribal beats and pulsing synths. Influenced heavily by the electronic sound of Brian Eno and (of course) M83, along with the experimental characteristics of Caribou, Animal Collective, and Yeasayer, Jagos recorded many of his tracks throughout the final half of 2009 with windows wide open. Drawing heavily upon cassette-esque lo-fi drum tracks and dream-like synthesizers, Brothertiger conglomerates the ethereal stylings of 1980's new-wave with the modern electro-dance sound into his own being. Like contemporaries Washed Out and Toro y Moi, Brothertiger aims to capture the “carefree and woozy feelings of summer ease.”
