So, José González is definitely famous right?
The Swedish folk troubadour has sold Over 700,000 copies of his debut album since 2003 and has racked up nearly 7.5 million views of his seminal Knife cover "Heartbeats" on Youtube. So, ja, si, oui, yes he is.
Then, how is it possible that his fantastic mod. folk outfit Junip are practically unheard-of? It's possibly a result of the band's recent five year hiatus or could simply follow a change in music trends. Whatever the reason, the public's blindness towards them seems totally unjustifed.
However, that's not what really matters... more importantly, they recently released a fantastic full-length entitled Fields, which I'd highly recommend. Think the best bits from Caribou's psychedelia, Gayngs' chilled vibes and Tunng's marvellous folk. Here's "Rope and Summit", a tune from an EP of the same name they released earlier this year:
