Juniper - Theories [Underground Quality]

A1 - Fate Conspired

A2 - In The Interest Of Time

B1 - Pushed Away

B2 - Rhetorics


Underground Quality reaches release number forty with four tracks from Mancunian duo Juniper fully demonstrating the international reach of Jus-Ed's imprint. The Theories EP is a debut set from Juniper (not counting their lo-fi punk past) and fits in snugly alongside the rest of the UQ roster with "Fate Conspired" opening proceedings in languid style - simmering atmospherics sit deep beneath gloopy pads and crispy patterns that demonstrate Juniper like their drums. Following this "In The Interest Of Time" is far more experimental in tone, twisting expertly between delicate soundscapes and insistent Detroit rhythms - the whole track punctuated by vocal samples discussing concepts of reality. Both "Pushed Away" and "Rhetorics" provide a more upward slant on contemporary deepness and demonstrate the versatility of Juniper's sonic palette.
