Junip To Tour North America


Junip is hitting the road this November. They'll be making a stop in our lovely city on November 24 at Irving Plaza. In case you missed them when they were in the city the last time, want to reminisce or to get you warmed up for the upcoming show(s), Baeble Music was kind enough to film them at The Knitting Factory this summer in Brooklyn. You can check that out HERE.
Composed of Elias Araya, José González, and Tobias Winterkorn, the Swedish trio Junip is hitting the road in support of their full-length Fields. Released via Mute last month, the album has had a bevy of positive adjectives attached to it.

In conjunction with their upcoming tour Junip is teaming up with retro-photo iPhone app Hipstamatic for a photo contest themed on the title of the album Fields. Contestants are encouraged to be creative and shoot their own interpretation of FIELDS (i.e. a field of wheat, magnetic fields). The Grand Prize includes a Crosley turntable, Junip merch, Mute vinyl pack, Skullcandy headphones, Hipstamatic prizepak, Stance socks, Neff Headwear, Hard Candy iPhone case and VonZipper sunglasses.
