Not us totally geeking out because Jaguar Sun is our next guest! We got to talk to Chris about the genesis of this incredible project born out recordings from his bedroom, and we dig into his composition process, his album artwork (also produced by Chris), honoring family pets, life in Canada and much more. We're such fans and it was so fun to hang with our neighbors to the north! Meet Jaguar Sun.
