Tour Dates: Junip’s North American Jaunt

Prior to his success as a solo artist, José González fronted the indie-rock band Junip during the late ’90s in his native country of Sweden, with the group releasing one EP before breaking up. Back in 2010, the singer-songwriter reunited with his former bandmates, releasing their critically-lauded full-length debut Fields that featured their highly enjoyable brand of psychedelic folk-rock act as filtered through Gonzalez’s hazy, Nick Drake-inspired vocals. On April 23, the band will release their self-titled sophomore effort via Mute Records, and have lined up a 13-date North American tour in support that kicks off on May 30th at the famed Troubadour in Los Angeles.
