about

2x12" presented in a gatefold sleeve

Maajo stands for May. The month of excitement and expectation of imminent joy. A time of hope following weeks and months of rain and cold. The time that best encapsulates escais, those wirstful, delightful daydreams. A time when you release yourself from everyday routine and already begin to live in the holiday that hasn't yet arrived. A place that might not even exist. Let it be a warm, a joyous place, a fuzzy bricolage you witness after passing out while watching a David Attenborough documentary. Outlandish and romantic ideas of distant cultures. Maago is motion, movement from one place to another. It is moving without travelling, dream and dance.

Maajo is a musical continuation of the similarly titled 12" single by Herman Prime the producer's idea expanded to a five member band. The music is the product of a mixed technique where vocal samples and programmed synthesisers coalesce with finger-plucked guitars and handheld percussion. Beneath everything run several strong currents of inspiration: an obsession with balearic disco, deep tribal roots, a love of eighties afro-pop, lessons from minimalist composers and a desire to just dub it up.
