CD of the Week: Fields

It took more than a decade for Junip to release its debut, but it's worth the wait. The Swedish trio remained a work in progress as guitarist Jose Gonzalez focused on his solo material, including the 2007 standout album In Our Nature. 


Drummer Elias Araya and keyboardist Tobias Winterkorn infuse a layer of moody keyboards and breakbeats, creating an expanded sonic palette for Gonzalez's plaintive songs.


Junip performs at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, November 23.
