Junip - Fields (2010)*** FLAC ***



Lossless version of the 2010 release Fields by Junip.









The story that leads to Junips 2010 release is one of patience and perfectionism, frustration and persistence, sheer bloody-mindedness, inspiration and success. The place to which it takes you, however, is one of pastoral contemplation, autumnal grace and inscrutable, haunting serenity. A cosmopolitan three piece from Gothenburg, Sweden featuring Tobias Winterkorn (keyboards), Elias Araya (drums) and Jos Gonzalez (vocals guitar), the latter of whom youll be familiar with from his solo work Junip have existed since 1999, maybe even 1998. Its so long, frankly, that none of them are quite sure. Fields, however, is the album that theyve been itching to make ever since.

Gonzalez and Araya have been playing together since they were 14. Their love of hardcore led them to form Renascence, (later called Sweet Little Sinister), and they first encountered Winterkorn at shows in Gothenburg in the mid 90s. We talked about music that wasnt hardcore music, Winterkorn recalls. I think we were all fed up and talked about doing something new. Our feeling was that we could do something more interesting with a setting that was more typical of the 60s and 70s, By then in Sweden, Gonzalez relates, it felt like everyone else was into Americana and country with steel stringed guitars, he continues. We had nylon strings and a Moog.

They started rehearsing at Arayas mothers house, and though Gonzalez initially brought in half-finished songs, I noticed pretty early that it sounded better if we improvised together first and I then came up with a melody and lyrics. I remember, Araya reminisces, that the lack of a full drumkit played a big part in the beginning of how the songs, and especially the drum patterns, were formed. The four-track cassette recordings that emerged caught the ear of Josephine Olausson (currently with Love Is All) and Per Idborg, who released the four-song 7, Straight Lines, on their Kakafoni label in 2000. They also latched onto Gonzalezs solo recordings, a fact that ultimately contributed to Junips unusually lengthy genesis, though it wasnt the only reason its taken them a decade to record their debut: Araya spent much of 2001-2005 studying art in Finland and Norway, while Winterkorn worked part time as a teacher, spending his spare time building a studio for his own recordings. But it was undeniably the success of Gonzalezs debut album, Veneer, that held things back the most: its initial domestic success in 2003 led to European and US releases (on Peacefrog and Mute respectively) in 2005, in the process selling a million copies and going platinum in the UK.
