Brothertiger, a.k.a. John Jagos, has a knack for making shimmery, lush melodies that both wake you up and get you moving. The Brooklynite, who credits Brian Eno and M83 as influences, has been making electronic jams for quite some time and has 10 projects listed on his Bandcamp page. His newest album, Out of Touch, which drops Dec. 4, is a 10-track wonderland of synthy-pop and ambient melodies. The album cover art is also pretty awesome, featuring a creepy hand poking out of weeds, with all five fingers dipped into murky, black water — a metaphor, perhaps, for being "out of touch?" Like his other cover art, green is a central hue, which makes us wonder: Is verde Jagos' favorite color? Or maybe he's into color therapy? After all, green is a "healing color," so maybe Jagos is trying to tell us that listening to Brothertiger will cure us of our ailments. Hmmmm. Try it out next time you're sick and get back to us on the results? Jessie Schiewe
