Their debut original single, &#8216;Just Life&#8217;, was released on 22 August and comes with a lyric video made by the band themselves.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The trio claim that their musical influences are irrelevant, but they did write their first EP in a shack in the Amazon, so that likely serves as some form of inspiration, particularly in the name of the band. In their own words,<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Our collective life experiences are our influence. We don&#8217;t want to sound like anybody, we want to sound like everybody.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Just Life&#8217; opens with a buzzing electronic sound before the entrance of the vocals, which themselves have a slight reverb to them. If you&#8217;re familiar with Peppermint Heaven (and we&#8217;ve written about them a lot so we should definitely hope so!) then you&#8217;ll find a similarity in their sound. There&#8217;s also a strong 80s vibe, but again, this takes us back to the band&#8217;s statement that they want to sound like everybody.<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jaguar Dreams&#8217; previous release, as heard on their SoundCloud, is a stunningly ethereal cover of the Fleetwood Mac classic, &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/jaguar_dreams\/fleetwood-mac-dreams-jaguar-dreams-cover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dreams<\/a>&#8216;, and that&#8217;s definitely worth checking out too.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Jaguar Dreams online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jaguardreams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jaguardreams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jaguar_dreams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.
