The Junipers are a psychedelic pop band based in Leicester in the 2000s. Their last recording was released in 2016.
The Junipers formed in Leicester in 2000, recorded and released their debut album Cut Your Key in 2008.[1] The album was self-produced and recorded at The Junipers own studio in Leicester & at Magic Garden Studios in Wolverhampton. Three singles were pulled from the album, "Gordie Can't Swim", "So the Feeling Looms"/"Out My Pocket" & "Callooh Callay!", which earned the band single of the week on BBC Radio 2.
A new lineup of the band began recording their follow up to Cut Your Key later that year.[1]
The Junipers second album Paint the Ground was released in 2012.[1]
In 2013 the band released an extended player The Juniper's Euphonious Trolley - EP 1 which they described as a "poppy side project".[1] This came out in November 2013, receiving a top review in Shindig! magazine.
The band released their third album Red Bouquet Fair in 2016.
