Brothertiger - Shout

John Jagos, known professionally as Brothertiger, is an American electronic musician and producer. He first got his start while a sophomore at Ohio University, where he studied music production. Some of his first songs quickly attracted the attention of notable music sites such as Pitchfork Media and No Pain in Pop. After signing with Mush Records in 2012, Jagos released his first full-length album, Golden Years. In 2013, he released his second full-length, Future Splendors, which was also his first release pressed to vinyl. Brothertiger released Out of Touch in 2015 after parting ways with Mush Records. Out of Touch was his first independent full-length record release, characterized by lush synths on top of a blend of electronic and acoustic drums. According to Jagos, his aim with Out of Touch was to "create an auditory journey through a metaphorical jungle of emotional states—from tribulation, despair and fatigue to serenity, joy and tranquility.”

After a few years of touring and producing other artists, Jagos released Brothertiger Plays: Tears for Fears' Songs from the Big Chair, covering the entirety of Tears for Fears' famous album. In 2019, he released his first EP in 8 years, A Chain of Islands EP.  The EP was the first released in collaboration with Satanic Panic Recordings. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, Jagos started livestreaming from his studio, producing improvised tracks for audiences over Youtube and Twitch. The result of those initial streams was Fundamentals, Vol. I, a collection of instrumental electronic tracks released in June of 2020.  Brothertiger released his fourth studio album, Paradise Lost, in September of 2020. In lieu of touring, Jagos performed live on the Bandcamp livestreaming service, being one of the first artists to utilize the new platform. Later in 2020, he delivered another volume of instrumentals to end the year, releasing Fundamentals, Vol. II in December.
