More Less No Yes is the first single from an album that, with Juka’s own words will “sound like a Tarantino soundtrack, just without the movie”.
More Less No Yes opens with hard electronic drums wrapped in crisp vibrato guitar and Juka’s deep and intense voice. The temperamental and danceable strummings supplemented with slack surf loops, a fair amount of tremolo and Esben Inglevs smooth bass creates a feeling of stepping into a Tarantino movie.
Think about westerns, cactuses, and inspiration from the early 1960’s role models, when Juka combines detail with simplicity, the raw and the rounded, rock’n’roll, and surf.
Juka cheers her heroes, the frontiers of rock music, with a song that shows her conscious about her musical background, while she places herself into a modern context.
Juka wants to combine the best from the past and the present in her recordings and is very dogmatic when it comes to recording and mastering and that’s why she has chosen Penguin Productions and ET Mastering.
The Juka Trashy album Auto Fiction is inspired by the soundtracks of Tarantino and Lynch films and focuses on creating a cinematic experience rather than clinging on to a specific genre. You will experience a dusty and lo-fi universe of surf, rock, punk, and a dash of bluesy singer-songwriter on the album.
Auto Fiction is a great example of what comes out of creative processes in a collision of different places: The cultural melting pot of Berlin, writing retreats in Austin (Texas) and Paris, Juka Trashy’s hometown Aarhus, coffees in Copenhagen, beers on Christiana and most importantly: Amazing musicians from more than ten different countries.
The philosophy behind Auto Fiction is that you can’t create a musical journey for your listener without travelling, and you can’t make an album with a wide scope if everybody has the same cultural or artistic background. Auto Fiction has grown out of the international collaborations that are established when you dare to think out of the box and break the boundaries of genre, text, instrumentation, and working processes. All contributors have been asked to leave their unique fingerprint on the album and to consider it as a playground for creativity.
