The Future is Here with Brothertiger

Drawing from a more ambient corner of throwback synthpop than many of his contemporaries, Brothertiger may wrap his melodies in layer upon layer of ethereal textures, but they’re unmistakably present. The Ohio University alumni member possesses an ear for a hook combined with a knack for interlacing his electronic instrumentation in a lush but never overpowering manner. Having forged his style over a number of EPs and last year’s debut full-length "Golden Years," the prolific Jagos has investigated new territories on recently released "Future Splendors," describing the album as emphasizing “more futuristic themes.”
