"Your Life Your Call" Video Premieres Worldwide!

Junip’s videos are always delicious spine-tingling, dark creations that take on a life of their own. Their last video for “Line of Fire” already set the tone for what's to come. With "Your Life Your Call" we present to you the the second, final installment in a two-part series leading up to the release of Junip’s sophomore self-titled release on April 21st. More details after the jump, but first:

Karlsson explains:

"The idea was to make a short film divided into two parts where each part is influenced by a separate song but still maintains to create a whole. The videos tell the story of a tormented old man, stuck in a monotonous, loveless relationship. A situation that perhaps was not his choice, or preference to begin with. The old man is simply like all of us, a person influenced by the ideas and beliefs of others which also, unavoidably, influences his choices in life. This realization is what he eventually tries to break free from. 

The story is partly told on a subconscious level where fragments of memory along with subjective fears and dreams are manifested, and just as relevant as anything else in the "real world" to comprehend the characters, and their actions. It is the experience of life in all It´s dark and comical absurdity."

Mikel Cee Karlsson - Director of Junip´s "Line of Fire" and "Your Life Your Call"

Junip premiere new single "Your Life, Your Call"

We are happy to share with you the new Junip single, "Your Life, Your Call" off of their self-titled sophomore release available April 22nd via City Slang. While the pulsating beat and overall flow of the track might be a departure for González and crew the message remains poignantly and traditionally steeped in Junip sensitivity. Armed with a chorus that rings brightly through, “It’s your life, it’s your call/Stand up, or enjoy your fall” Junip delivers what this threesome does best, heartfelt messages that are applicable to any listener’s life experiences. Charging down a new trail González explains it best,  “It felt like trying on new clothes when we first listened to it – it took a while to get comfortable with it, but now I like it a lot.”
