Increasing the Volume No 1024

Junip is a great band for you to check out. 

Here's a sample:

Junip - In every Direction:
http://youtu.be/q7yaHnUPJLE

Lyrics:
still protecting the magic feather
holding tight to a supporting crutch
writing scripts on worn out leather
still waiting on a divine touch

try to ride on waves of activity
in every direction
you're the center and you're always free
in every direction

feeling safe enough to abandon the void
ban the zero, ban the noise
quiet sounds picked up and dissected
all faint shadows reflected

try to ride on waves of activity
in every direction
you're the center and you're always free
in every direction

It's not much for visual, but I included it for the lyrics and because it's pretty representative of their style over all.

So here's another Junip song with an awesome video:

Junip - Always (Official Video)

http://youtu.be/BYB0iEiOuzs

Lyrics:

droning chords and distant bells
humming over empty shells
holding on tight onto a dead sky
nomadic moves across a lawn
inch by inch into the dawn
holding on tight onto a dead sky

turn a deaf ear no matter what they might say
always
turn a deaf ear pushing you further away
always

droning chords and distant bells
to what's been over since the fall
holding tight to what's been felt
holding on tight onto a dead sky

turn a deaf ear no matter what they might say
always
turn a deaf ear pushing you further away
always

Jose Gonzales is their singer. 

I liked Jose Gonzales, then I liked Junip,
Then I really liked Junip when I figured out Jose Gonzales was their singer.

Jose Gonzales remakes Massive Attack's Teardrop beautifully here:

It's quite a nice video.

Here is the original version of Massive Attack's Teardrop.

Also a very cool video

Lyrics:
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my...

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

You're stumbling down
You're stumbling down
