Jaga Jazzist

Long-running, genre-crossing Norwegian band Jaga Jazzist are releasing a new album titled Starfire on June 2 via Ninja Tune. The title track is out now, and it’s a jammy, proggy, synthy epic that covers a lot of ground in its nearly 9-minute running time. Listen below.

The band, whose leader/composer Lars Horntveth recently relocated to LA, will also go on a North American tour this June in support of the album. The tour brings them to NYC on June 20 at Webster Hall. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (4/3) at 10 AM.

All dates are listed, with the new song, below…
