Working with film composer Max Surla, the tracks have touches from Jaguar’s classical background such as baroque melodic motif development, dramatic dynamics, and cleverly winding arrangements. “After All” traverses stately piano passages, symphonic synth motifs, and imaginative key changes coupled with emotionally open lyrics and vocals. The storyteller song “Slipaway” recounts a bittersweet and dramatic tale of unrequited love. Other singles in the series are the majestic “Artificial Heart,” a cautionary tale about heeding intuition when entering a new courtship, and the dramatic pop-rocker, “She Fell,” featuring ace Bowie band alumni Sterling Campbell, Gerry Leonard, and Jaguar mainstay, Mac Gollehon, infusing his jazz chops into this modern-day rock epic.
