A guy who worked at a record shop knew a band who needed a label and just like that ... Jagjaguwar was born. The year was 1996, the guy, Darius Van Arman, was working at Plan 9 Records in Charlottesville, Virginia when he signed Curious Digit as his first band. Van Arman got the name Jagjaguwar from a Dungeons and Dragons random name generator. The label is one third of the Secretly Group, alongside Dead Oceans Records and Secretly Canadian.
