about

The two tracks here are taken from an album project called Jamu. It is the second collection from Chris Coco inspired by the magical island of Bali, following on from the 2017 album Return To Good Karma. The title is the name of a drink made of local herbs sold by street vendors that is good for health and vitality. I hope we have created a musical version of that healthy juice with our particular variety of ingredients.”

Here’s what Chris says about making the album.

“This project was made in collaboration with a close group of musician friends. Each person played their part separately on the simple original grooves and soundscapes, inspired by the rhythm or what the last player or singer had laid down. We built a ‘live’ sound without ever playing together. After that I used the live parts to edit and process to eventually create the finished work.”

Here’s what Chris says about these tracks.

“Stone on Bamboo started as a rhythm recorded on the beach at Pemuteran in the north of Bali, using a stone and a bit of bamboo. The Soft Rain Falls uses sounds recorded around the village of Junjungan, near Ubud, as a starting point for the soundscape.”

Intoxicating euphoric ethereal psychedelic soul at it’s very best … and I do mean intoxicating, as the adventure never rises above heartbeat level, locked into a slow-paced groove bewitched by R&B inspirations from the late 60s and early 70’s that reach out of the darkness with an easy going vibe of love, joy and happiness.
