Jouis - Mind Bahn (2019)

Jouis return with their second album 'Mind Bahn', their first album for None More Records following up 2015's self-released 'Dojo'. Jouis are a three piece from Brighton, UK comprising Joe Woodham (vocals, bass, guitars) Louis Pavlo (vocals, keyboard, synths and piano) and Adam Johnson (vocals, drums and percussion). 'Mind Bahn' is 9 tracks of groove-laden psychedelic folk rock. Drawing on influences as far and wide as the British jazz-tinged folk scene of Nick Drake and John Martyn, the contemporary Canterbury Scene of groups like Syd Arthur and a sprinkling of the 70s scene of groups like Hatfield & The North and Caravan. Mixed in with the folk and progressive influences, comes hints of BADBADNOTGOOD, Khruangbin and Polar Bear in the tight rhythms, the space of Debussy's piano pieces and the experimental electronica of Stereolab and early Broadcast.
