The Argus: Download of the Week
The Argus: Jouis

Jouis

From: Brighton

Influences: The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, John Martyn, The Beach Boys, Jack Kerouac, Cat Stevens, rum, lime and ginger beer.

Profile: Next week sees Brighton six-piece Jouis release their double A-side single, She’s On The Rise/That’s My Woman on download and limited edition vinyl. The band marked their first birthday playing on the Hot Tips stage at last year’s Camden Crawl, and enjoyed festival slots at Lounge On The Farm and The Secret Garden Party in Cambridgeshire.

Their debut EP Yellow Meadows was released last October, accompanied by two national tours. The new single was recorded earlier in their friend Steve Biddle’s hand-built studio, using “science fiction jazz-like microphones” to try to capture their favourite sounds of the 1960s and 1970s.
