Djuna began in the summer of 2007. The motivation was to create sensible pop songs that further provoked the listener – a concept deemed “candy-coated content”.

Their sound frequently demonstrates a relationship of human and machine – involving a drum sequencer that quarrells and complies with very human music; Ballads that sail but are threatened by collapse or explosion – sugary anthems enhanced with intellect…

Rhythms are precise and connected to solid low-end, guitars range from provocative to atmospheric, vocals chase themselves and overlap with sensible melodies and meaningful content – and the sound is further sophisticated by compelling violin. These elements, paired with each members’ experience and dynamic personality – give Djuna a very moving yet unpretentious sound and live experience.

Influences include the Cure, Pinback, The Velvet Teen, Imogen Heap, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, and Bjork.
