Review
Jurema Juice release their self-titled debut album which sees the band play a tribal style of Classic Rock, Psych Rock, Stoner Rock and Blues Rock where you can hear influences from the likes of Black Sabbath, Led Zepp, Kadavar and in some cases Monster Magnet. For the most part their music is a Psych Stoner Rock journey but one that allows the band time, freedom and supreme creativity to branch out into other areas of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. The album is a real psychedelic trip that uses the power of Seventies Classic Rock to transport the listener into other musical portals and other worldly domains.
The early stages of the record sees Jurema Juice weave elements of Desert Rock and Space Rock through the superb tracks of Boba da Peste, California (My Girl) and Jurema Juica - Caleidoscópio. There’s a sudden shift into Jam-based rock which gives Jurema Juice a more free-flowing and outlandish Psychedelic attitude where you can feel the modern day influence perhaps reigning supreme. However, this still feels quite grounded and downright freaky in places.
The vocals from André Gonçalves feel inspired by the era of Blues Rock, Funk, Psych and Classic Rock which oozes COOL from the very start. André always brings a fresh musical voice to each individual track that shows he’s a LOT OF SOUL within his vocal delivery. I could hear traces of Grunge in the most heavier parts of his vocal performances. The rest of the band are excellent with Carol Vilela (drums), Davi Savicki (guitar) and Pedro Salvador (bass) forming a great POWER TRIO line-up that provides thrilling support to Andre. They never outshadow each other and the band are really super tight and brilliantly focused on tracks such as Under my Shoes, Roll Over Down, Revolution Sunshine and Caos.
Jurema Juice may offer quite an offbeat sound for their debut album but it’s one that works superbly well with the band moving across many different facets of the Heavy Psychedelic musical scene. It’s quite refreshing to hear a band thinking outside of the box and just playing music for the absolute love of it. This is an outstanding slice of great music from the South American Stoner Rock scene you don’t really come across that often. Give this one a try and you’ll be surprised by what you hear and with the superbly recorded production values, Juerma Juice have real potential to become more well known within the underground scene.
