When I first heard Euphoric Ouroboric, unaware of who or what, the music evoked an image of a street performance by a motley theatrical group which you cannot pass by without stopping to watch and listen. It’s indie folk rock, with less common instruments, e.g. jarana jarocha and huapanguera (both Mexican), woodwinds and accordion, making it reminiscent of Neutral Milk Hotel at times, but it’s more than that: the beautiful song Helen, Can You Forgive Me? for example, would fit well in a mixtape with tracks like the Stones’ Fool To Cry. It’s a kinda strange album, but certainly a captivating and interesting one. It turns out to be by David Wax Museum – David Wax and Suz Slezak, with Alec Spiegelman – and they have already made several albums that I have yet to discover, their new full length is a self-released D.I.Y. home recording. I have no idea if they ever play in public places, but they would definitely get my attention, I would love to hear the great lyrics of Juniper Jones live.
