JuJu (Justin Adams, Juldeh Camara, Billy Fuller and Dave Smith) have announced the release of their new album.
'In Trance' has "been recorded live to capture the spirit of JuJu’s electric performances on stage - channelling trancey rhythms from traditional Africa, leftfield jazz and the wilder end of rock".
Not long ago, on a night lit up by a fat golden moon, JuJu took a trip. Fuelled by rocking guitar and one-string swing, by backseat bass and Afro-jazz beats, Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara travelled to the place where tradition meets psychedelia – and then teetered, out there, on the edge.
The recording magic took place at Real World Studios, where new band members, Dave Smith and Billy Fuller, brought their own unique strengths to the mix.
In the studio, "JuJu .. created five new tracks that make your body pulsate – music that is raw and swinging and has that slightly distorted sheet-of-sound vibe that Moroccan artists like The Musicians of Jajouka have",
