Get In On The Ride With Juan & The Pursuit of Happiness
Dontmesswithjuan and her record label SONO Music Group have released her debut album Juan & the Pursuit of Happiness in 8 singles. Each single represents a level into fictional character Juan’s quest to shed light on his questions of purpose.
In a conceptual debut album, Dontmesswithjuan explores how human beings deal with the concept of purpose. Her fictional character Juan goes in search of happiness, this eternal human quest. Each song is a level he needs to go through to get to the next.
With this album, Dontmesswithjuan hopes to offer a healthy escape. A confronting adventure if need be. But most importantly, a vital sense of not being alone. The track “Mutant Fur” is about mutation, change, transformation. The track “Mr. Uchi” is a mysterious and hypnotizing track created with bird soundscapes that she recorded in the Amazon jungle.
This 8-track collection of infectiously poetic songs sees the young artist perfectly exhibit her own genre called Surrealist Electronica, where her philosophical questions and haunting voice create a mesmerizing world. With dark textures, glitchy foley beats, and surrealist videos, Dontmesswithjuan is rising to the top.
