Golden Jooklo Age hail from the Ocean, where the land descends into the deep waters like a sea of sound.
Epic,
free cosmic improvisation and primitive electronic music that pulls you in like
great waves and saturate the hidden zones of your mind with ethernal vibrations
and instictive undertones bringing you out of the water and up to the sky.
Harmony
and chaos constantly alternate, in a vortex of psychic elevation and visionary
power converging in
parallel worlds of ancestral trance-like grace.

This
Portugal tour was just incredible: so solar, peaceful and pure. We also
recorded a special session of Golden Jooklo Age with guests Tiago Miranda, Rui Damaso
and Rui Damaso (it's not a joke!) at the ZDB Gallery. This session will come
out on LP on Qbico on September 2008. Special thanks and all our love to: Tiago
and Joanna, Gustavo Costa, Loosers, Sergio and all the guys at ZDB, Rui &
Vito and everybody in Barreiro, Pedro for the recordings at ZDB, Ines and Nuno
of Eira in Porto, everybody at Galeria de Desassosego in Beja, all the lovely
guys we jammed with in Porto. The bad news is that the whole Ireland tour which
had to come further Portugal had been cancelled thanks to the fuckin' Ryan Air
flights: we are immeasurably sorrow for these to all the people who had worked
at our gigs there in Ireland... Hope to be able to recover these gigs in the
future.
