Western Jaguar is proud to release Vacationland, on September 13th, 2024. Vacationland is the sixth album released under the Western Jaguar name. Cast amongst a backdrop of jangly guitars, cascading synths and rich bass and percussion, Vacationland details the anxiety of reaching adulthood in a rapidly shifting world and the self-doubt that can still exist even as you reach a more settled stage of life. Vacationland is being released independently on streaming platforms while a limited edition run of cassettes are being released through Bratislava, Slovakia based label, Starttrack.

“[Western Jaguar]… has grown from humble beginnings to a captivating presence [and] continues to surprise and engage listeners with its rich, atmospheric soundscapes” - FusioNostalgia, 2024

“Skillfully blending indie rock, dream pop and shoegaze, [Western Jaguar] writes songs exploring common themes of life, love, emotional well-being and loss, expressed through poetic, relatable lyrics which he delivers with pleasing low-key vocals.” - EclecticMusicLover, 2024
