Remember those early 70's TV commercials which were awash in technicolor, where flora and fauna gently undulated in the background? Well, Cut Your Key, the debut album by these Leicester lads, is the aural equivalent of that, as every song is bursting with kaleidoscopic goodness!
Mixing equal parts baroque, psychedelic, and sunshine pop sensibilities, but with a darker than usual undercurrent (moonshine pop?), songwriter Joe Wiltshire will tantalize your neurons on every turn,marrying a gentleness with a sort of of furtive power, not unlike The Fantastic Something on steroids.
Standout cuts include the Left Banke influenced 'Gordie Can't Swim', the delightful, fairytale like 'Callooh Callay!' and a couple of tunes 'Out My Pocket' and 'Song That Fades Away' which are very much the British equivalent of 60's pych pop legends Sagittarius and The Millennium. Add the down-hominess of 'Already Home' and 'So the Feeling Looms' and The Junipers have an album that will simultaneously give you chills and make you feel warm all over.
