The Burmese Days
It all started with a novel by George Orwell, The Burmese Days. Inspired by this declaration of love for exoticism, Jude Junior and Kaptain Karma created a band bearing the same name — a certain vision of travel, the kind that happens from behind a computer screen, fueled by audio-visual clichés and forbidden dreams.
Over the course of three experimental LPs, the duo scattered influences from all over the world: 80s African pop, New York math rock, and Japanese synthpop. Their rock identity remained constant throughout a journey filled with strong concepts and creative exercises — always leading to the same result: dreamlike soundscapes.
For their first album produced with The Queen Is Dead Records, "The Great Depression of Sutra", the duo, now expanded to a quartet, took on a new challenge: concluding a story that began as a comic book.
Blending raw rock energy with epic orchestration, they tell what appears to be a simple superhero story — but is, in fact, the story of Humanity: its downfall and its rebirth.
Nihilistic, and therefore deeply humanist, this new form of rock opera is more daring than ever — questioning the relationship between art, people, and time.
A few months later came "It Took Time", a composite album featuring a rich collection of material: the final track from "The Great Depression of Sutra", lasting thirty minutes and divided into five separate songs, along with live versions, demos, a cover by Ari Birgisson, and a remix by Blue Chill.
