Whereas a game seeks to demonstrate how unequal or distinct players\/teams are from one another, rituals seek to do the very opposite. “Ritual, on the other hand, is the exact inverse, for it brings about a union,” La Farge writes, himself paraphrasing anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss. “Or in any case an organic relation between the initially separate groups.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd so, across the 25-year history of Jagjaguwar, an independent record label curiously named using a Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons name generator, we find this idea of ritual as a conjoining practice. We see it early on when Jagjaguwar joins forces with a midwestern label called Secretly Canadian for a powerful fusion. We see it in familial relationships and collaboration among Jagjaguwar artists, and the ways those artists’ most treasured collaborators make their ways to the Jagjaguwar game board.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJoin 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 \u0026amp; Go. We’re talking about heroes like R.E.M., Slint, Stereolab and Tracy Chapman. These songs captured the imaginations of our founders Darius Van Arman and Chris Swanson — and ultimately, opened up worlds to them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpencer Krug - Red Dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Besnard Lakes - Good Morning, Captain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey Hate Change - The Seeming and The Meaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngel Olsen - Cold Blooded Old Times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBruce Hornsby - Feel The Pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJamila Woods - Fast Car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNap Eyes - Car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS.
