Editorial Reviews

Debut album from José González - fronted rock band
JUNIP was formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in the late '90s by José González (guitar, vocals), Elias Araya (drums) and Tobias Winterkorn (organ, moog). Their first 7" came out in 2000 and they self-released the Black Refuge EP in 2006. RCRDLBL distributed the 2009 single "Chickens/Azaleadalen". Junip has periodically gathered together and recorded when schedules permitted, but this is the first time the members will focus exclusively on the band. Their sound can be familiar to those who have listened to González's critically acclaimed records, but added to the mix on top of his nylon stringed guitar and distinctive voice are organs, synths and drums. The songs are often dynamic, melodic and shadowy.


Customer Reviews

The music focuses on Gonzalez's trademark acoustic strings. Rafael Cova  |  6 reviewers made a similar statement

5.0 out of 5 stars A new high point for critically praised Jose and friends. September 29, 2010
Format:Audio CD
Junip is the band that includes guitarist/vocalist Jose Gonzalez, who produced wonderful albums Veneer and In Our Nature. As much as I love those two albums, I find that the addition of drums and keys on "Fields" expands the types of songs Gonzalez can do and improves their overall listenability.

At the risk of damning with faint-sounding praise, these songs are pleasant. But that's no small feat, creating an entire collection of songs none of which breaks the spell that the low-key instrumentals and understated singing produces. Nothing Junip does is ever likely to grace a karoake collection--the songs are not tuneful in that way. But there is a sense in which the sophisticated poetry is carried along by the bouyant melodies and unobtrusive percussion that is very compelling and works on two levels: Fields can be wonderful background music for a gathering, but the lyrics are such that they will reward more mindful reflection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Junip- Fields- Ethereal October 15, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Junip's new cd Fields is at once original and timeless. Gonzalez' vocals mix in and simply become another instrument yet the lyrics soar and make you perk up to listen more closely. Each song, while remaining in theme, has a different feel and never gets old. Wondering about life, wandering through relationships and time, death and love...all these with new 'old soul' eyes.
I would reccommend this album to many - from those who love the old Danny Kirwan Fleetwood Mac days to those listening to the newer things such as Death Cab or Carey Brothers.

I've been a big Jose Gonzalez fan for a while, but had no idea he had another band. This is more psychedelic than his solo stuff, but I love it, especially the moog synth. Read more
