Mojo Juju - Must Be Desire / Psycho (7" Vinyl-Single)
What you can expect: A blues/rockabilly/garage lady with more guts than 500 German hillbillies combined! Smooth, glamorous, and laden with sin! We're talking music that could make a bishop kick a hole in a leaded glass window! MOJO JUJU sings songs that sound like that night you can't quite remember, in that bar you could swear you've never been to, with that girl you've never, I promise, seen before.
Influenced (but never copied) by the sounds of jump, hoodoo, and early blues, boogie pachuco, rock 'n' roll, and a little bit of bump & grind, Mojo has created something undeniably her own. "Vintage rock 'n' roll licks, wailing jazz, and grinding juke-joint blues. Juju has done for her genre what Lanie Lane did for country music," writes the Sydney Morning Herald. The founding member of the noir punk/garage/swing band The Snake Oil Merchants released her debut solo album in September 2012—a collection of songs that delve into vice and its consequences: songs about recklessness and regret, love, infidelity, death, trains, cars, and bad, bad hangovers. Complemented by images of truck stops, rest stops, dive bars, and cheap motels—this is a soundtrack to life on the road!
