With their debut album Três Tigres Tristes, São Paulo’s Jonabug opens the door to a deeply personal world—one shaped by warmth, distortion, introspection, and melodic poetry.

Sound & Aesthetic
Três Tigres Tristes blends shimmering shoegaze textures with a lo-fi indie rock spirit, producing music that feels handcrafted and emotionally immediate. Reverb-heavy guitars stretch across dreamy arrangements, while vocals melt into the mix, enhancing the record’s atmosphere of soft disorientation.
There’s a deliberate rawness in the way Jonabug constructs each song—refined but never overpolished, inviting the listener into something real. This sonic openness creates a feeling of closeness, like leafing through someone’s diary written in chords and delay.
Mood & Themes
The album’s title evokes something both playful and melancholic—fitting for a record that lingers in the tension between hope and sadness, tenderness and distance. Jonabug doesn't write songs to impress—they craft sonic confessions, filled with fragile joy, yearning, and the subtle ache of things unsaid.
Though sung in Portuguese, the emotional clarity cuts through language. The album’s pacing feels organic, its highs and lows like breathing—expansive, reflective, alive.
Conclusion
With Três Tigres Tristes, Jonabug delivers a debut that is as poetic as it is powerful—a love letter to the textures of shoegaze and the sincerity of indie rock. From São Paulo to anywhere ears are open, this is a record that speaks to the soul with quiet force.
