WHAT IT IS: Drawn to the concept of a shared human spirit, Jagwar Twin melds a worldly ensemble of alternative sounds on debut album Subject to Flooding. Roy English—the driving force behind the project—emerges as a spiritual monk warrior with a powerful voice and arguably prophetic poetry. He’s positioned against a landscape of’ ’60s-style guitars, gritty hip-hop break beats and flipped MPC samples—reminiscent of Dark Fantasy-era Kanye West. Life’s duality and the search for balance and self-discovery serve as English’s inspirations.

PRESS: Ones to Watch (“‘Loser’ is an instant classic at first listen. Jagwar Twin tells a refreshingly rare tale of triumph, making the term ‘Loser’ feel like a badge of triumph... It very much feels like the song we need right now, with the world seemingly falling apart. Musically, it feels like the song we needed our whole lives”), Atwood (“Catchy, meaningful and connective. [‘Loser’] is an Alternative underdog anthem. Jagwar Twin’s music is inclusive, indulgent, emotional and highly expressive, and counters self-doubt and insecurity with love and positivity. This is just the start of a very exciting, promising artistry full of wonder and potential”), Variance, more
