Jaguar Sun is a solo project created by multi-instrumentalist Chris Minielly. Weaving together inspiration from bands such as STRFKR, Youth Lagoon, and Panda Bear, Minielly creates dreamy, pop-centric soundscapes with experimental flair. The Ontario based artist allows his instruments to speak equally to his voice urging listeners to get lost in richly layered guitar lines and deep droning synths. Minielly is currently set to release his debut LP “This Empty Town” July 24th, 2020 on Born Losers Records. A collection of 8 songs speaking to the loss of relationships and home town nostalgia that solidifies his unique sound in the alt / dream-pop world.
