JuJu released their fifth album, Apocalypse Is God’s Spoiler via Manchester’s based label Sister 9 Recordings, celebrating it with a successful UK tour.
Their latest offering features two exceptional guests: Chad Channing of Seattle majesties Nirvana and Luca Giovanardi from Italian psych combo Julie’s Haircut.
Sicilian multi-instrumentalist and producer Gioele Valenti is a key figure of the European underground music scene.
He is one half of acclaimed Occult Psych project Lay Llamas (Rocket Recordings) and 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. Chiefly, he gave rise to the genre-defying project JuJu, championed by the likes of Goatman and Capra Informis of GOAT.
JuJu’s latest album, ironically named Apocalypse Is God’s Spoiler, appears to encapsulate a clear-eyed and disillusioned perspective on our current era, reflecting a world saturated with mass-media, terminal hedonism, and pervasive t


otal war.
From the debut album (Sunrise Ocean Bender on Fuzz Club), where African influences held sway, to the subsequent Fuzz Club releases (Our Mother Was A Plant, Maps And Territory), where the blending of shoegaze and psychedelic elements evolved into a post-punk fusion reminiscent of Joy Division, with an increasingly pronounced noise trend (particularly in the fourth album La Que Sabe), JUJU has now achieved a more mature formal balance, characterised by a pure and distinct identity.
With Apocalypse Is God’s Spoiler, JuJu once again redefines the game.
This album not only signifies an evolution from their established sound but also marks a return to their roots and a more pronounced embrace of “western” imagery.
If La Que Sabe sparked an irresistible vibration, enticing sacrilegious disco rituals entwined with shoegaze guitars, the new LP embraces that blend of western Post Punk, Shoegaze, Darkwave, Industrial, Synthpop and then anchors it to the Tribal and Occult Psych elements of JuJu’s origins.

“You enter into a cathartic form of music, heavy stoner, psycho-funky rhythms, tribal, incandescent, and dirtier as it can get. Think of Monster Magnet on one of their superjudge trips.”
