I think people on here would like this musician/band. Anyone a fan? They're coming out with a new album and will be touring pretty soon.
His song "Heartbeats" from the album Veneer got me interested a couple of years ago. Very cool, mellow voice.
www.junip.net (http://www.junip.net) has a song and video from the upcoming album.
Line of Fire is sick, I am looking forward to their new release.
What's with "their" and "band". He's a solo artist, sometimes unaccompanied. Anyway, Jose is an awesome talent. The Swedes have it going on.

Ah, I thought Jose did some solo stuff before forming Junip as a band. Junip is still a band, even if Jose is really the only contributing member. Sure Jose probably wrote all of the new album, but a lot of bands function that way. Perhaps it is "his" music, but that doesn't deter the fact that there is multiple people performing the songs at the shows.

I stand corrected. I know Jose as a solo folk singer. So Junip is an Iron and Wine/Sam Beam kind of thing then?

I guess thats a reasonable comparison, especially sound wise and the progressions. Jose has released solo albums and now Junip is a full band. Had their debut a couple years ago. Whereas Sam has only released material as I&W though, right? Im not sure how much of Junip's credit goes to Jose, but Im sure its most of it.

This.
Junip actually pre-dates José González solo work. And it's always been the trio of José, Tobias Winterkorn and Elias Araya. A nice bio can be found here (http://www.junip.net/?page=bio)
Regardless, it's all incredibly wonderful stuff...and in whatever incarnation on my short list of must-see live in the near future. our generations closest thing to Nick Drake IMO
José Gonzales - Heartbeats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxJhYpTIrl8#ws)
He (or they) have been on my list to see as well. I don't think there have been U.S shows in several years. I just got tickets to the 9:30 Club show in D.C.
I don't know about Iron and Wine. I'd say it's kind of like Phish and Trey but not 100% as I don't know that much about Phish. But the Junip trio has been together for a while and Jose goes and does solo stuff without them.
There is a great "Morning Becomes Eclectic" with just Jose and his guitar from Santa Monica 2007-10-11

Phish and Trey are very different. The dynamic in Phish is very much a group effort whereas Trey solo is just that. Liken Phish to any band with more than one leader.

I'm still trying to come to terms with this video...can't wait for part 2.
Jose live is great - I saw him just after Veneer and his musicianship blew me away.
I think we need the BananaBear to give us the skinny on Junip and his other works. SBB, where are you?
Junip is the shit, love them. Everything I've heard from their EPs to the full length is can't miss. This is great news that they have a new album coming out!
For as much as I like them I've never bothered to check out his solo work. I guess I need to do that.

Interesting. I heard Jose first, which led me to check out Junip later. Both are great. Line of Fire is a great single.

Yeah, that seems to be the case with most people APR. Any recommendations on where a Junip fan should start with Jose's solo stuff would be appreciated.

I'm here! Just a bit slow... :thumbsup: First there was some hardcore band (dunno the name but José + Elias) Junip (José + Elias + Tobias), then there was some soloing, then there was Junip again. And from what I hear he's very, very shy. And... that's pretty much all I know that I can think of. Here's some pretty music:

Also, Ane Brun + José :thumbsup:

The end of part II really confuses me. Were they both his lover? Or, is the boy supposed to be Satan? There was a biblical reference in the first part.
What is everyone's impressions on the new album? I just started listening to it.
if you read the cast at the end of part II, he's playing the part of "the savior" I think he's also the boy/man....or a physical representation of his innards. ja know?

I'm so glad to see you back on here. I haven't noticed you much around here lately. I was starting to wonder if you had left us.
