JAGWAR Ma have announced their debut album Howlin will be out on June 10th on Marathon Artists. The duo of Jono Ma and Gabriel Winterfield have enjoyed a whirlwind start to the year with their single The Throw. They are releasing new track Man I Need in support of the album. And the band's first London show saw them bring a densely packed basement to sweaty elation, and they have quickly gone on to share bigger stages, having just supported Foals on their European tour and the xx in their native Australia. Jagwar Ma are now set for their own headline shows in the UK in May followed by a summer of festivals across Europe, Australia and Japan.

Jagwar Ma emerged last year with the captivating single 'Come Save Me'. Combining the earworm melodic sensibilities of 60's sunshine pop with a tightly euphoric modern electronic edge, the Sydney-based duo of Jono Ma and vocalist Gabriel Winterfield quickly sent ripples across the blogosphere and heralded the arrival of a fresh-faced dose of kaleidoscopic, danceable psychedelia.
Now, armed with new single 'The Throw' and a forthcoming debut album due later in the year on new independent label Marathon Artists, Jagwar Ma have entered 2013 in no uncertain terms. Already greeted with unanimous excitement by a rapidly growing international fan-base and enthusiastic supporters in press and radio alike, ‘The Throw' is a giddily disorienting and exhilarating seven-minute whirlpool of psych groove projected through a prism of pulsating acid house and 90’s rave, culminating in a strobe-lit vocal mantra and trance-like rhythm.
Signifying the bands rapid strides, Jagwar Ma will be embarking on a set of European dates supporting Foals as well as playing a select number of UK dates, including headlining an NME Awards show February 26th at Birthdays.
