LISTEN TO “Walking Lightly” HERE

After a busy summer of playing festivals abroad, Junip are eager to share their new single, “Walking Lightly” with you on September 17th via Mute. Tapping electronic producer John Roberts for a remix resulted in a passionate new version of this outstanding track that we are happy to share with you alongside the single. The “Walking Lightly EP” bundle will also include remixes by Maps, Tobacco and To Rococo Rot. For complete tracklisting please see below.

As RollingStone commented in their album review of their self-titled sophomore record released earlier this year“Sweden-based indie-folk auteur José González can massage your worried mind like Cat Stevens. With his band Junip, there’s a dark, funky undercurrent pulling against the pastoral kindness” –proving a band doesn’t need to shout to make people stand up and take notice. Sometimes all you need to do is walk lighty.

“magnificent sophomore effort”

-BlackBook Magazine

“psych-folk radiance.”

-Filter

“A reflective exploration of sound, Junip is bolder in musical and lyrical ventures than the trio’s previous work.”

-Interview Magazine

“”Junip” is filled with lush, spacey electronic prog folk that should appeal to fans on both sides of today’s strum.”

-Yahoo

Junip is Gothenburg, Sweden-based rock trio consisting of Elias Araya (drums), José González (guitar, vocals), and Tobias Winterkorn (organ, moog). Junip released their sophomore, self-titled album on April 23rd, 2013 via Mute.

“All the ups and downs were very ‘Junip,’ so titling it with our name seemed appropriately iconic. It’s truly a band album.”

– José González
