Consisting of vocalist/pianist

Cody Votolato from

Jay Clark from
Pretty Girls Make Graves,
Jaguar Love are a West Coast indie rock trio that hopped on the fast road to success in the summer of 2007.
Votolato and
Clark were neighbors in Seattle and became friends when
the Blood Brothers and
Pretty Girls Make Graves toured together. When talk of forming a new band was introduced, the two made a move to Portland to join up with
Whitney and write new music. Within a few months they had four songs recorded and started considering different labels. After a brief tour with
Queens of the Stone Age,
Jaguar Love signed a deal with indie big leaguers Matador in January of 2008. In late spring, the trio's debut EP was released, and the full-length
Take Me to the Sea arrived just after, in August. ~ Jason Lymangrover, All Music Guide
