1LP Vinyl – KUJO002

Powerful, dynamic and highly energetic; Mount Kujo is a Naarm (Melbourne) based act blending Funk, Jazz, Latin and Afro-beat. A vibrant collective of culturally diverse musicians from all around the world, playing original arrangements rich of colourful changes, eclectic rhythms with explosive horn sections.

As the band says “There’s something about the Kujo philosophy – nobody holds on to an idea so tightly that it can't become something else” The result is the palpable feeling that the second release has taken the band’s impossible blend of influences, from afrobeat to spiritual jazz, psychedelic funk to cinematic soundscapes, and organically formed a solid musical base for their own unique, recognisable and bombastic sound.

This innovative sturdiness is attributed to a greater member stability and curious explorations of the canonical songbook they have amassed since Mount Kujo’s frantic birth in 2019. The increased familiarity and depth has supported their love of embracing dynamic change, accepting last minute mishaps and actively seeking new challenges to see how these conditions aect their music. This resulted in songwriting sessions that were fueled by strong foundations of artistic principles to guide the band’s growth and style.
