When we first heard this song we were like, "Okay, cool, it opens with guitar feedback, always a good look." Then the bass line started–a chunky stumble down the fretboard–and we thought, "Guess these dudes aren't playing around." Finally the drums came in, the verse started, and we kind of coasted until 1:47, when the word "growing" gets belched so wildly we were finally sold. Brooklyn's The Jaguar Club won't be winning any band name awards, but their rusty, Smiths-gleaning garage rock (people have been calling them new wave, but that's frankly inaccurate) has been one of our better random finds. Their new album, recorded by Ken McMahon (The Walkmen, Frightened Rabbit), is due soon, and they play early tonight at the Annex in New York for Club NME. Long live the power trio.

Sounds like: The Walkmen, White Denim, Browns
