Grains

Vinyl Format. Boozoo producers Florian Seyberth and Peter Heider are already widely respected around the globe for their unique blend of modern electronica with blues, jazz, soul, latin and dub elements. But on Grains, the Nuremberg duo take a lighter and brighter path, absorbing acoustic folk and classic songwriting into their progressive musical journey. It marks a dazzling new chapter blending beautiful new sounds by churning modern studio electronics with live instruments and guest vocals. An album of underground and experimental sounds based on strong melodies and emotionally charged vocals. Inspired by the resurgence in acoustic singer-songwriters, and a visit to the contemporary folk festival Green Man, obsessive record collectors Florian and Peter recorded Grains while falling in love with the Laurel Canyon generation of early 1970s Los Angeles—a time of unplugged introspection for superstars like Neil Young, Joni Mitchell or Jackson Browne. “We didn’t try to make an authentic West Coast album. It’s just that laidback California thing was in the back of our minds,” Florian explains. “It colored the whole thing.”
