Mojomatics: Songs For Faraway Lovers LP
— Price: 139 SEK

„Songs For Faraway Lovers” is their second full length after various 45s and their highly acclaimed debut album “A Sweet Mama Gonna Hoodoo Me”. It is produced by themselves thru 2006. They took their whole songbook and entered recording sessions in the Adria lagoons, windy mountains and dusty basements to complete an impressive new album. Defined as blues encrusted punk tunes with a lot of rootsy pop harmonies and rambling´country-esque edges the MOJOMATICS pour out even more hooks on their second record and reveal their folk and blues roots with some typical american folky ballads. In every moment you got shaken by their agitated melancholia, in the next you feel the unrestless fresh fun they create out of their half century old influences. The pop sensibility on their walking blues trip thru the Mississippi Delta's paths is a shelter from the storm of mindless puppets. On “Songs For Faraway Lovers ” you find 12 cuts, 10 genuine songs and with “Stealin” and “Hard Travelin” two traditionals arranged by the MOJOMATICS. If one two-men-band does sound like the full throttle New Orleans marching band, the MOJOMATICS do! They got the magic to make your eyes wet just listening to their tunes, they prove that nice guys who love what they do win in this hype-ridden world. The prize? Beeing on the road, seeing ordinary garage rock and roll hustlers stomp their feet, suicide girls dancing, and musicologists and other high-art connoisseur take their hats off. We´re dancin´ to their songs for a while, now it´s your turn. If you've missed them on the last tour, call it love on the rebound and join them on the way to nowhere. The LP is on heavy vinyl and will come with a printed cardboard inner sleeve while the CD has the “No Place to Go” Video as bonus, directed by Slowboat films.
