Djute Profile  

By Kevin - Bristol Rocks

I first met Julie Baker from Djute at an open mic night three years ago. I was impressed with her then and I am more than impressed with her bands latest recording.

Djute have veered from the mainstream with this fine four track CD.

The first track is called impossible and it has one of those catchy choruses that embed themselves in your  conscious so that you find yourself humming it at inopportune moments. Very good, very commercial.
The second track 'carefully crafted' features some nice fiddle playing and is quite brilliantly different. This is my favourite track of the collection because it takes Djute to a different level that is eclectic and as far as I know unique. Want something classy and unusual, well this is it!

Girlsworld is another really good pop song that has a chorus that reminds me of a few Blondie tracks. Don't let this put you off, this is a very good song that has a lyric that gives you an insight into the writers world.

Laura is an acoustic track that once again benefits from the fiddle playing. This is one of the things that takes Djute into the premier music league, the other thing is their song writing. This is not standard three chord rubbish, these songs have been written in the style of track two and that is carefully crafted.

We at Bristol Rocks love Djute's style and award them a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for this fine four track CD.
