“We’re interested in songs and melodies and not so much riffs and jamming so maybe that’s why it took so many years for Jaga to feel the connection with Prog? On the last album we’ve fooled around with this genre a bit more and now we are very happy that some people call us a prog-band.”

Influenced by Talk Talk, Soft Machine, John Coltrane, Don

Cherry, Aphex Twin, Stereolab, Squarepusher

Bands such as The Mars Volta and Tortoise have listed Jaga as being

among their very favorite bands
