Brooklyn’s The Jaguar Club just finished up their debut album, engineered by the steady hand of Kevin McMahon (Titus Andronicus, The Walkmen, Frightened Rabbit). Somewhat hastily slapped with the “New Wave” tag, this band churns out plenty of uptempo rhythms, angular riffs, and dark-but-soaring melodies to compliment vocalist Will Popadic’s inimitable yowl. But the Jaguar Club is working with much more than just a compendium of 1980s influences and Brooklyn scenester bravado; indeed, they have the chops to match their considerable charisma. Listen to the song “Sleepwalking” below (and download it for free!), and tell me you don’t hear strains of Heaven Up Here-era Echo & The Bunnymen.

The Jaguar Club has a show coming up tomorrow at Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn, alongside Pacific Theater and I Love Monsters — it should be a doozy! You can cop tickets now via their MySpace page.
