Conceived during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adrian Quesada's Jaguar Sound is the talented guitarist/producer's take on an instrumental hip-hop album. Locked down in Austin, he spent part of his days riding around town on a bicycle, listening to hip-hop. Inspired by the loops created by the Alchemist in particular, he started coming up with beats at home. Once he was able to call some friends and colleagues into his Electric Deluxe Studio, he turned the beats into fully realized songs inspired by late-night hip-hop, funky soul, and the swooning, orchestrated sound of '70s Italian film soundtracks that feel tailor-made to be played on a scratchy old vinyl LPs.
