There's no stopping the freight train that is Sydney duo Jagwar Ma. With a number of hit singles already on the books ("
The Throw," "
What Love," and "
Come and Save Me"), they're not content to sit on their well-earned laurels. Quickly developing a reputation for their globe trotting, they're about to set off on another European tour, including stops at the Great Escape and Glastonbury Festivals in England. Just in time for this, they've launched another single of their upcoming debut album,
Howlin.
"Man I Need" is a typically lengthy affair; topping out at 9:30, it dwarfs their previous single "The Throw" which was only a measly 7 minutes. It's an intriguing listen though, with the track moving from stage-to-stage, exploring a number of different influences and flavors, from trance and techno to psych and pop, and everything in between. It would be silly to review this like any other song, because it's completely different from anything currently being made.
With their album due out on June 7, they'll need to wait till the end of July to launch their album at home with a spot at the Splendour in the Grass festival -- a perfect way to celebrate.
