The Junipers are a psychedelic pop band based in Leicester in the 2000s. Their last recording was released in 2016.

History

[edit]

The Junipers formed in Leicester in 2000, recorded and released their debut album Cut Your Key in 2008.[1] The album was self-produced and recorded at The Junipers own studio in Leicester & at Magic Garden Studios in Wolverhampton. Three singles were pulled from the album, "Gordie Can't Swim", "So the Feeling Looms"/"Out My Pocket" & "Callooh Callay!", which earned the band single of the week on BBC Radio 2.

A new lineup of the band began recording their follow up to Cut Your Key later that year.[1]

The Junipers second album Paint the Ground was released in 2012.[1]

In 2013 the band released an extended player The Juniper's Euphonious Trolley – EP 1 which they described as a "poppy side project".[1] This came out in November 2013, receiving a top review in Shindig! magazine.[citation needed]

The band released their third album Red Bouquet Fair in 2016.
