 I found myself in my home studio today without much drive to work on the new songs I'm currently piecing together for my next release. So, in lue of my inability to get work done, I decided to see if I could produce a cover of one of my favourite songs in under an hour. I've been messing around with Foals' "Late Night" with loops for a while and decided to just bring that same loop feel to this recording. I wanted to keep it very raw and ambient.

 Hope all is well. 

 Cheers

Foals - Late Night (Western Jaguar Cover)

“Oblivion” is an album that was almost never completed. It was buried during the pandemic and left to rot in the yard as days, weeks, months and seasons rolled by. I honestly had never intended to make it. I never intended to go back to this project. This record really made itself…

To go all the way back to the start, the recording of “Oblivion” began back in the summer of 2019. Western Jaguar was hot off a run of summer concerts throughout British Columbia and the project was gaining momentum quickly. The goal was to create an album that would be ready for release the following summer to pair up with a summer tour schedule in 2020.

Sadly, “Matador” and “Doomsday” are the only two tracks that survived that initial recording run. There were others around at the time, but for various reasons they did not reach completion. Some were due to computer malfunctions, others simply due to changing feelings and perspectives. These two survivors fit both the old and new Western Jaguar. That’s why they’re included on “Oblivion”. 

Western Jaguar was on track to release new music that summer, but March 2020 changed everything.

When the pandemic hit, music changed for me. It became harder to create. People were isolated from each other. It was impossible to perform in any capacity. There were no easy ways to share my music. Because of this, I turned my attention to other things, other hobbies and other outlets. Music fell by the wayside. The songs initially recorded were locked away.

However, 2 years later, the spark hit again. I began to feel the urge to create. I needed to create again. So, at home, I started to work. The first song I put together was the opening pair of “Start Again” and “Milwaukee”, both of which arose out of one single demo idea from years past. The song sprouted quickly and the feeling of writing, composing and creating again was infectious. 

I unearthed “Matador” and “Doomsday” and scoured my hard-drives for more ideas that had fallen through the cracks. I found old demos that turned into “Better Daze”, “Daydreaming” and “Just Racing.” I was discovering these unpolished gems and in a way, they were a reflection of where I was in my own musical journey. Run down, out of touch, disconnected and forgotten. These songs were in “Oblivion.”

To round off the record, I composed two new tracks; “Phases,” an instrumental cap to the record and “Darling,” a love letter to my biggest support system through this time of turbulence; my wife.

“Oblivion” is a state of being forgotten. Western Jaguar was forgotten for nearly 3 years. It is not forgotten anymore, nor will it ever be again. Western Jaguar is a part of me. A part of my soul. A necessary appendage to my heart. 

Please enjoy.
