Artist:	JAGA JAZZIST
Title:	Animal Chin
Label:	GSL
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	GSL 065CD

"The debut U.S. release from Oslo, Norway's critically-acclaimed Jaga Jazzist. The band's sound is a minefield of contrasting textures and styles; the comparisons that come up often include Miles Davis, Squarepusher, Tortoise, Talk Talk, and Kid 606. The 10-piece group's members span their domestic music scene, and they have performed with, and/or been part of, virtually every notable contemporary Norwegian band. Their debut album, A Livingroom Hush, was released in early 2001 by Warner Brothers -- in Europe only. Animal Chin, a 30-minute, seven-track collection of material from Hush (3 tracks), the Airborne EP (2 tracks), and a couple of unreleased remixes -- sort of a crash course in the Jaga modus operandi. Sleeve art is by Martin Horntveth, creator of the striking digitized images adorning the previous Jaga Jazzist releases."
