The psychedelic folk group from Sweden have released an astonishing video for Walking Lightly, the title track from their upcoming E.P.

It’s been a busy year for the Gothenburg troupe. It was only in April that they released their eponymous second album, quite the feat considering it was only their second release in their fifteen year career. Even stranger seeing as they released their debut album just three years ago. In fairness to them though, nobody could have predicted frontman Jose Gonzalez’s escalation into superstardom all those years ago, when having released just one E.P, Straight Lines, in the year 2000, Junip was put on hold as Gonzalez travelled the world, serenading thousands with his indie folk tales. But following the release of Junip’s debut album Fields in 2010, the childhood friends are now going full steam ahead with the band, conducting tour after tour, which is good news for everyone really.

The premise for the Walking Lightly video is simple. It merely features the group playing deep within the wilderness, with only nature and friends and family surrounding them. It fits the track beautifully, with simplicity the key as the music takes the lead. In many ways, it’s how music should be done, as it proves difficult to find a fault throughout the six minutes. It’s no surprise that Gonzalez croons “Walking lightly, alone”, as he looks set to live the dream all over again. They might have recently parted company with long time drummer Elias Araya, but Gonzalez and bassist Tobias Winterkorn will not be walking lightly, alone anywhere. There will be fans following them as they embark upon a musical journey, one which will take them all over the world.
