iTunes Review
Jose Gonzalez has quietly made a name for himself with solo work that has drawn comparisons to Ben Watt and Nick Drake. With his group Junip he travels further into spacey atmospheres where the band captures a vague, metronomic Krautrock vibe to go with Gonzalez’s airy vocals. Keyboardist Tobias Winterkorn makes an immediate impact with subtle yet quickly thrilling keyboard fills that turn a tune like “Rope & Summit” into a mesmerizing gasp. The drum circle rhythms of “Howl” highlight drummer Elias Araya and create a beautiful tribal weave for Gonzalez’s nearly invisible vocals. “Don’t Let It Pass” sweeps in with a melody that suddenly levitates for welcomed sunshine. “Howl” takes the blues into the 21st century. “Sweet & Bitter” drives with an infectious pop backbeat. The Deluxe Edition includes an additional eleven tracks that were issued as the Black Refuge and Rope & Summit EPs and the bonus cut, the incredibly catchy “Chicken.” An iTunes exclusive bonus track “Blue” and the cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Ghost of Tom Joad” make this debut album from Junip one grand affair.
Customer Reviews
This is a really good listen
I heard a bit of one of the songs on a local college station and I liked what I heard so I gave the album a chance. I am really happy that I took the leap because this album is really great. I am not quite sure what it is about the music that draws me in but there is definitely something there that is getting, and keeping, my attention. Being a life long percussionist (or at least almost life long) I tend to find myself gravitating to music that is really driven by the rythmic content (which this certainly is) but there is something more here.
In any case while I won't promise to refund your purchase I will say that the album was well worth the $9.99 I spent and I definitely recommend this one.
Great album!
I have been listening to this album via NPR First Listen and am so glad that it's finally out! The haunting upbeat chemistry on it is top notch. Easily one of my favorite albums to come out this summer.
Buy it now
Best new music I have heard all year! Thanks NPR! You won't be disappointed
