London quintet Junodream have emerged as ones to watch, with early tracks such as ‘To The Moon’ and their debut EP ‘Terrible Things Could Happen’ collecting over 2 million streams as well as praise fromWonderland,BBC Introducing, Radio X, The Line of Best Fit and Clash. Constantly evolving, the band now take a bold step forward with their new track ‘Limiter’. It’s the first song to preview their new EP which follows on 29th November.
Creatively welding plaintive alt-rock with soaring bursts of shoegaze and psychedelic atmospherics, ‘Limiter’demonstrates that Junodream’s potential pushes confidently forward with every release. “Maybe the night’s got the best of me / Maybe I’m a lodestar in too deep,” begins vocalist Ed Vyvyan before guitars flourish and crash around him. It’s a scene-setting opening for a song which addresses contemporary concerns: the balance between insecurity and living up to the social norms and identity that comes with modern masculinity.
The new video was directed by long term friend Ned Botwood, and was shot during a 50mph gale in a lost corner of the West Country. It was inspired by an aggressive encounter Vyvyan had with an uptight nightclub bouncer, which also became the basis of the song.
Junodream are Ed Vyvyan (lead vocalist), Dougal Gray(guitar), Tom Rea (guitar), Will Ryder (bass) and Jake Gidley (drums) – five old school friends who formed the band on the back of a shared passion for ‘90s alt-rock greats such as Radiohead, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Beck, Pavement and Slowdive After leaving university, the five-piece spent six months in small flat in Andover, their music and their bond both strengthened by their close living arrangements, relative isolation and the fresh air that comes with being away from the city.
Now based in London, Junodream have recently played the Neverworld and Jigsaw Festivals, and have also supported The Magic Gang. They’re now set to play the Wild Paths Festival in October ahead of Live At Leeds’Ones To Watch showcase on November 23rd, plus their own headline date in London at Bermondsey Social club on 14th November – tickets can be purchased
