After 10 years of forward-thinking musical fusion, Boozoo Bajou return with their most seductive and sophisticated album yet, ‘Grains’. The Nuremberg duo are already widely respected around the globe for their unique blend of modern electronica with blues, jazz, soul and dub elements. But on ‘Grains’, they take a lighter and brighter path, absorbing acoustic folk and classic songwriting into their progressive musical journey. Boozoo Bajou earned global attention with their single ‘Night Over Manaus’ in 1998, their 2001 debut album ‘Satta’ and its 2005 sequel ‘Dust My Broom’. They also demonstrated their wide-ranging musical taste on the two excellent ‘Juke Joint’ mix compilations. In addition, they have remixed and collaborated with a wide range of major artists. These include hip-hop superstar Common, Joe Dukie (Fat Freddy’s Drop), rapper Oh No from the Stones Throw camp, former Motown writer-producer and blaxploitation soundtrack legend Willie Hutch, and the veteran Louisiana singer-songwriter Tony Joe White, author of the all-time classic ‘Rainy Night In Georgia’. Yet ‘Grains’ marks a dazzling new chapter in Boozoo Bajou’s career. This is the duo’s most organic album so far, an album based on strong melodies and emotionally charged vocals – inspired by the acoustic singer-songwriter-folk from early 1970´s LA Laurel Canyon generation. As on their previous albums, Boozoo Bajou have made something fresh and modern from their old-school inspirations, weaving them into their 21st century studio soundscapes. Several guests sing on ‘Grains’. But Boozoo Bajou’s most exciting new discovery is their first ever female vocalist, the young British singer-songwriter Rumer, whose voice was described by BBC London as coming “straight out of Laurel Canyon”. Rumer provides the vocals on ‘Same Sun’, the first single taken from the album, an addictive fusion of acoustic melancholy with shiny modern production
