DOWNLOAD: Boozoo Bajou - Same Sun (Tontelas Roots Version) + more

Posted 2/3/2009 8:03 AM by Steve Mizek

Tags: rock, indie, tropicalia, reggae

There are many musical riches to be had once you get past Boozoo Bajou's silly psychedelic name. For their third album, Grains, the German duo expanded their dubby, down-tempo sonic palette to include strains of folk/indie rock and British songstress Rumer on vocals. The breezy finger-picked melodies and hand drumming on "Same Sun" evoke notes of tropicalia as Rumer's strong satin pipes beckon for listeners to "rely on me." Tontelas push the Caribbean vibe to Jamaican ends, replete with throbbing bass and huge swathes of reverb. But it's "Messengers" that brings the house down with Cat Power-ed swoon of melancholic arrangements.

Sounds like: Cat Power, Os Mutantes
