about

"Imbibe Shadowfax with vocals, add a dose or two of Green Isac and you might come up with the intoxicating brews of electro-worldbeat troupe Group Du Jour. With electronic icing, this inventive trio utilize a plethora of finger instruments (xylimbas, hand drums, chimes, gongs, etc.) linked to guitars, dulcimers, recorders and “cheap” digital samplers to yield smooth, world-fusion songs that are anything but cloying. The myriad of textures include buzzing guitars offset by electronics and whistling flutes on the evocative “Where Rivers Meet”, while the guitars on “Mercenary Man” sport a decidedly Floydian bent. After years of stimulating cassette releases, Group Du Jour’s worldly exploits are certainly quite welcome in the digital domain – and better suited to them." - Darren Bergstein i/e Magazine
