Juju Juju
Available on 180-gram transparent yellow vinyl. Limited to 300 hand numbered copies. Originally released on Sunrise Ocean Bender. This is the debut album of Italian Juju. Juju is the incarnation of Sicily-based Gioele Valenti (Lay Llamas, Herself). Used to designate objects, such as amulets, and spells used ceremoniously in West Africa, Valenti broadens the scope of juju to encompass a mix of rhythmic psychedelia, ancient myths and Mediterranean neo-paganism. Through the music, JuJu tells the story of an ongoing exodus from Africa that more often than not ends in ignored tragedies at sea, a total defeat for humanity. Inspired by sources of Earth magic and soil secrets, JuJu strives to turn that defeat into a celebration of spirit and modern psychedelia.
