Today I’m delighted to share the news that one of Brooklyn’s finest, Brothertiger (born John Jagos), will be releasing another album in this hellscape of a year. The aptly titled Paradise Lost is slated for a September 11th, 2020 release courtesy of Satanic Panic. Following up last month’s Fundamentals Vol 1, an album of lush instrumentals, Paradise Lost, explores the shifting nature of one’s expectations, which given the state of *gestures wildly* everything happening around us right now, this record will be the definitive soundtrack to Redefining Your Post-Pandem Life.
Our first taste of Paradise Lost, “Livin’”, is quick to get to a key element in managing one’s expectations, which is to give yourself permission to revel in the power of your own decision making instead of crumbling under the pressure of external forces. “There’s always underlying pressure to be achieving certain life goals at certain ages,” explains Jagos. “The song is about doing your own thing and not worrying about how other people think you’re living your life.”
Paradise Lost is available for pre-order now. Tell you what, that marbled purple vinyl is lookin’ pretty lovely right about now.
