Widely respected around the globe for their unique blend of modern electronica with blues, jazz, soul, latin and dub elements, Boozoo Bajou, from Nuremberg, Germany first earned global attention with their irresistible breakthrough single 'Night Over Manaus' in 1998, their 2001 debut album 'Satta' and its 2005 sequel 'Dust My Broom.' With the release of mix compilations 'Juke Joint' and 'Juke Joint II,' the duo behind Boozoo Bajou, Florian Seyberth and Peter Heider, further demonstrated their wide-ranging musical taste. After remixing everyone from hip-hop superstar Common, Joe Dukie from New Zealand dub-rock collective Fat Freddy's Drop, and rapper Oh No from the Stones Throw camp, to former Motown writer-producer and blaxploitation soundtrack legend Willie Hutch, Boozoo Bajou return with their third album 'Grains' on IK7. This is the duo's most organic album so far, making beautiful new sounds by blending modern studio electronics with live instruments and guest vocals. An album of underground and experimental sounds, but based on strong melodies and emotionally charged vocals. Inspired by the resurgence in acoustic singer-songwriters, and a visit to the contemporary folk festival Green Man, obsessive record collectors Florian and Peter made 'Grains' after falling in love with the Laurel Canyon generation of early 1970s LA. Boozoo Bajou are especially proud of their discovery of young, British, female vocalist and singer-songwriter Rumer. She can be heard throughout the album and dazzles on 'Same Sun.'
