New Jookabox Incoming — on CASSETTE

Everything analog is new again! Jookabox teams up with Kid Primitive Family for some hot cassette action.

By Blurt Staff

On March 9 Joyful Noise Recordings will be issuing an extremely limited cassette split from Jookabox and Kid Primitive Family.

The Jookabox / Kid Primitive Family split is an ethereal, percussive-heavy exercise in existential musical chairs. Jookabox, who just released their third album "Dead Zone Boys" (Asthmatic Kitty/Joyful Noise), re-discover their folk roots on Side A. A far cry from the bombastic-zombie-funk of DZB, these are intimate, home-recorded experiments and re-interpretations of older material going all the way back to the days of Grampall Jookabox's 2007 debut "Scientific Cricket". Side B showcases Chicago's Kid Primitive Family exploring guided meditation, Tuvinian throat singing, and strange new-world mysticism. Throughout the record, hip-hop tendencies weave in and out, pulsating percussion and echoey, layered vocals abound, and consciousness generally expands. Jookabox gets you in the mood, and Kid Primitive lures you over the edge.

The release is limited to just 100 cassette copies, complete with Digital Download coupon, and is now available for pre-order from the JNR site here.
