JJUUJJUU is the solo project of session musician and Desert Daze festival cofounder Phil Pirrone. After a decade on tour with various other artists, Pirrone borrowed some gear from friends and made his first record under the JJUUJJUU name, titled “FRST EP,” released in 2013. Pirrone has remained at the center of the project, with various other musicians filling in on tour as needed. JJUUJJUU has toured alongside or in support of artists such as The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Temples, Mastodon, Kikagaku Moyo and many others. JJUUJJUU’s music is steeped in hypnotic, fuzzy tones reminiscent of artists such as the Black Angels and Fuzz. Pirrone’s experience hosting psychedelic music festivals has certainly shaped his playing and writing styles, as is evident in today’s song of the day, “Up To You.”
