Not really a single release. More of a last little promo teaser before the album comes out next month. Another song we've had for a while in demo form. We started recording it properly it as a band in 2017 but never finished it or released it, apart from a brief appearance in 2023 as a bonus track on our 3rd album "Red Bouquet Fair". It's now finished and will be included on our new album "Imaginary Friends". It was the first song we had for the album and inspired the idea for the albums theme and title. We liked the idea of someone who really wants a dog but can't have one because the rest of the family don't want one, so they have an imaginary dog instead that they take out for walks and roll around in fields with, pick up its imaginary shit etc.
Our new album is available for Pre order NOW! Pre orders will help us pay for the pressing of the vinyl and get it out sooner. Email us to pre-order at thejunipersband@gmail.com or from The Junipers Bandcamp page: PRE ORDER HERE!

The Junipers are back with their new album "Imaginary Friends". In 2022 a couple of Junipers recorded with Manchester based outfit Portable Radio on their album "Counting To Three", providing the rhythm section recording at the Junipers studio in Leicester. With that project finished in 2023, they found the lure of their instruments and recording gear, still set up too tempting to not record some more.
They decided to have a go at re-recording their first album "Cut Your Key" from scratch. This was due to the record label owning those recordings and The Junipers not being able to release the original version on vinyl or sell it themselves. A new re-recorded version would mean a long awaited vinyl release of that album. That idea and those sessions petered out when a deal was struck with the record label, so decided to play around with some new songs instead.
With no initial intention of recording a new album, by early 2024 some accidental momentum was building and the idea to make an album gathered speed. A lot of care and love went into the recordings and "Imaginary Friends", the fourth Junipers album was born. The first single released from the album "Annie Almond" was given "track of the week" on BBC Radio, they followed that up with a second single "She Looked Up At the Stars". The album is due for digital and CD release on 5th Sept 2024. A vinyl release is due in October/November.
Our first single in a while is out now on our bandcamp page: BUY HERE!
It's called "Annie Almond" and is a little psychedelic pop song about people idea of other peoples perfection, and as we know perfection is an illusion. We made a little promo video too (Below).
