Hey, I'm Western Jaguar. I wanted to share a bit about my new single, "Balance Beam."
- It was a bonus track on my recent album because I wasn't sure about its quality.
- The lyrics delve into feeling inadequate.
- Musically, it's a departure from my usual indie rock, dream pop style.

Who has new music dropping at midnight? 👀
Releasing new music is fun! (Until you realize you have to promote that new music 🫠 )
Any fellow musicians rocking a Substack these days? Would love to connect with you on there! Drop yours below and be sure to follow mine for all the latest updates on my music (way earlier than social media!)

AI generated music is not real music. Sorry not sorry.
If you haven't explored it yet, this anniversary is a great time to dive in! Let me know your favorite OG Western Jaguar song, ok?

2 years ago, I released the definitive collection of Western Jaguar's early years, showcasing some of my formative work. This album captures the messy period of finding my sound, direction, and identity. It includes pop (Disappear), moody alt-country shoegaze (In Passing), and even punk (Belong).
"Balance Beam" was a bonus track from my most recent record, Kaleidoscope, and ya know what... a lot of people seemed to like it. So, I thought to myself, why am I gatekeeping my own track?

The Final Chapter Of Kaleidoscope

Good tone is in the hands of the player
Well gosh dang, I think the album I’m making is actually 2 albums, sheesh
Reverb is everything
"Wow, those guitar lines are so cool in your new song!"
"Thanks" - internally knowing it took over 30 takes and is cobbled together in pieces from said 30 takes.
Why is Friday so close to Monday and Monday so far from Friday?
What is your favourite plug-in you use for creativity in your mixes?
For me, it's Valhalla Super-Modulator. So many cool sounds and when you automate parameters it can get super wild for moments you really want to shine in their uniqueness!
What is the most underrated and under-utilized instrument? (The answer is the Glockenspiel!)

"My god, there is just no good music in my recs anymore!"
Ahh, hello, I may be of assistance if you like indie rock, bedroom pop, shoegaze and alt-rock!
Worst thing that could happen is you try it and you find it isn't for you (and that would still make my day)
Find it below if you're intrigued

Context is key for sure!
Fade outs at the end of songs. Yay or nay?
It’s Bandcamp Friday and I got CD’s/Digital copies of my new album, Kaleidoscope, as well as all my other music available!
If you got a little space in your budget today; why not consider adding this indie pop, shoegazy rock guy in your haul!
