“ALL SHALL FLOAT”: NEW JUNIUS VIDEO, TOUR
An extremely welcome surprise in 2011 was Reports From The Threshold Of Death, a throbbing, gauzy dream-rock record from Boston’s Junius (read here). One shitty major magazine described Reports as the intersection of Neurosis and The Smiths, but a sharper listen reveals Deftones-sized hooks and melancholic majesty more akin to Loveless by My Bloody Valentine and Cave-In epics like “Seafrost” and “Paranormal.” I love! U love!
Junius embarks on a busy US tour next month (with O’Brother, dates below), and then heads to Europe in April, so fans have not long to wait for a consciousness-muddying headline set. But in the meantime, Alternative Press has the exclusive on “All Shall Float” (here), an appropriately lovely video built from footage of the band’s last jaunt with Enslaved (when Junius stepped in for the red-tape bound Ghost). Smoke one, crank it, blast off!
