Sicilian multi-instrumentalist and producer Gioele Valenti is a key figure in the European underground music scene. He is one half of the acclaimed Occult Psych project Llay Lamas (Rocket Recordings). He is the man behind Herself, a folktronica project that involved the likes of Jonathan Donahue of Mercury Rev, John Fallon of The Steppes, and Amaury Cambuzat of Faust and Ulan Bator. He was also the guitarist of Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation. Most importantly, he is the creator of the unclassifiable JuJu. Championed by Goatman and Capra Informis of GOAT, JuJu has already released three albums (two of which are with Fuzz Club Records) and left a permanent mark in the international Psychedelic scene and beyond. ‘La Que Sabe’ is “She who knows”, “The Great Mother”, the witch, the “Mater Obscura”. Not by chance, the title conjures imagery that is bound to the Mediterranean sea and lands, the Earth Magic, and the Mother goddess in many ancient cultures. The cover shows a KAPALIKA, a Hindu monk who follows the doctrine of the “Left Hand Path”. The music, however, has shifted, both sonically and geographically. “La Que Sabe”, is another game-changer. It marks an evolution from their signature sound, but also a return to the origins and to a much more “western” imagery, combining Post Punk, Shoegaze, Darkwave, Industrial, Synthpop, R’n’R with Dance, Club, and Disco. Sonically, JuJu somehow migrated from the South to the North, but without losing the mystical knowledge and experience gathered in their previous wanderings. The result is an infectious vibration that invites sacrilegious disco rituals with Shoegaze guitars, and much more.
