London quintet Junodream have emerged as ones to watch, with early tracks such as ‘To The Moon’ and their debut EP ‘Terrible Things That Could Happen’ and most recent track ‘Limiter’ -they have collected over 3 million streams.
Collectively, the EP presents a collection of vignettes of the experiences of an ordinary young man – experiences each of the band have been through. Reminiscent of the character Gregor Samsa, they’re told from the perspective of a regular person: someone who doesn’t complain about his struggles in life, but who nonetheless suffers with the emotions that come with them.
Other highlights on the EP are ‘Isn’t It Lovely (To Be Alone)’ which captures the self-defeating power of overwhelming social anxiety, and then there’s simmering humiliation and anger in ‘As Far as I See’. They’re songs in which Junodream share the concerns of their generation – like many people in their early twenties, the band also battle with the grind of their day jobs and the overwhelming cost of living.
