Pop Espontáneo

Psychedelic garage, proto-power pop and psych-funk from Paraguay, 1969-1975!

“Pop Espontáneo” includes a selection of previously unreleased recordings by Joern and Dirk Wenger’s duo JODI, registered at their state-of the-art 8-track home studio in Asunción, Paraguay. Living in their own isolated world and free from any commercial pressure, Joern Wenger, a kind of Paraguayan Brian Wilson or R. Stevie Moore, created a particular, ahead of its time sound, using electric guitars, fuzz boxes, Moog, Mellotron, Clavinet, Farfisa…RIYL: BEATLES, KINKS, SHOES, JAN HAMMER, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CLEANERS FROM VENUS, ARIEL PINK, GUIDED BY VOICES, BEAT HAPPENING, TROPICALIA…

In 2016, we unearthed and reissued the first Jodi album, “Pops de Vanguardia”, which is probably the first DIY lo-fi garage / psychedelic album from South America, originally released in 1971. Now, we’re over the moon with this incredible collection of unreleased recordings which were hidden in Joern Wenger’s basement for several decades.
