Various Artists - Join The Ritual

Join The Ritual, the third piece of Jagjaguwar’s 25th Anniversary celebration, looks to pay homage to the labels and artists that, whether they know it or not, invited Jagjaguwar to the table, to this wild, dark magic ritual of music.

We’re talking about independent titans like Drag City, Too Pure, K Records and Touch & Go. We’re talking about heroes like R.E.M., Slint, Stereolab, and Tracy Chapman. These songs captured the imaginations of founders Darius Van Arman and Chris Swanson — and ultimately, opened worlds to them.
