John Talabot is a youngster from Barcelona with a rather special way of approaching music. His influences range from flamenco to northern soul, from African music to traditional Asian songs.

His first commercial effort on German label Permanent Vacation included the A side “Afrika” plus another two tracks,”Naomi” and “Korlee” . Shortly after (June 2009), “Sunshine” debuted via Talabot’s own label Hivern.

“Sunshine” resurfaced on a limited blue vinyl with mixes by Delorean and Blondes (May 2010) after the original made it to Pitchfork’s best new music of their 2009 list. At the same time Permanent Vacation launched his second release for the label: “Matilda’s Dream”

2011 saw the release of a four track EP, “Families”, via Young Turks. The title track features vocals by Glasser.

His first artist album, “ƒin”, will be released in 2012 and it contains eleven brand new tracks, featuring Pional and Ekhi.

    @mijajo i'm afraid that EP is from last year (on Clown And Sunset). that means it's finished and Jaar might be able to release something else this year. there is still hope.

    Jaar is actually releasing an EP this year, a collab with another guy, they call themselves "Darkside". Here's their 1st clip https://vimeo.com/32882961 Not so good as Jaar by himself, imho.

    Deserved hype! Dont know about the best album of the year thing, quite early for that, imagine Nicolas Jaar decides to come up with a surprise album sometime this year lol. Yeah a very decent effort here by Talabot. 4.5/5 for me.
