Alarm In The Jungle: The Synthetic Side Of Jodi
A Paraguayan musician of German origin, Joern Wenger is a true pioneer of homemade DIY recordings since the late 60s in South America. After playing with teen beat band Rabbits, Joern formed JODI along with his brother Dirk. Building the state-of-the-art "Jodi Experimental Studio" in the basement of his parent's house, Joern (a Stockhausen student) recorded many hours of music and self-released in 1971 a very rare LP called Pops de Vanguardia, reissued by Guerssen / Out-Sider in 2016 and now considered the first DIY lo-fi garage / psychedelic album from South America. The raw, cool and sincere lo-fi garage-pop sound of Jodi anticipated what a couple of decades later would be known as DIY or indie-pop.
