"Jaggery is a Brooklyn-based collective that works the dark edge of a genre-defying musical style (darkwave jazz?). They bring to mind a more classical, organic, avant-jazz oriented Cocteau Twins, or a "white witch" counter to the haunting Diamanda Galas. Certainly, Jaggery''s pianist/lead vocalist Mali Sastri has a capitivating, powerful, entrancing voice, lending the overall sound an exotic, mystical, far eastern aura. The band also features celtic harp (Jesse Sparhawk), stand-up bass (Tony Leva) and two absolutely possessed drummer/percussionists (Daniel Schubmehl & Raky Sastri). Electric guitar (Ziggy Drozdowski) is worked into some songs, but definitley more Frith than Slash. Let the dark, velvety warmth of Jaggery be your soundtrack for a mysterious, unreal dreamstate."
