Junaco means rolling with the pace of life and enjoying the present. This is the name of the Los Angeles based indie trio who has captivated listeners since their 2019 debut "Willow". The band takes that sentiment and returns with their cozy new single "Serene". The single marks the first release of the year, with promises of more music to come.
With "Serene" Junaco pens a single influenced by the time they spent in the woods in Northern California last winter. The environment of the gorgeous changing landscape in conjunction with spending time in chilled waters of the ocean and river made it feel like a kind of renewal, as though they were shedding an old layer. Lyrics showing this transformation and acceptance of change include, "Pull me under / Wash me clean / Bend my body / So serene". Musically, "Serene" includes icicle dipped piano notes, soothing guitar riffs and dreamy vocals. There’s an earthy, almost spiritual feel to this song. Layered warm melodies and lush peaceful instrumentation add to the single's allure.
Junaco melds folk, lofi, dream pop, and indie rock for a captivating listen. The trio are set to tour in the southwest this spring and will share a highly anticipated LP called In Motion this coming summer. With a knack for immersive songwriting and an intricate, multilayered exploration of sound and emotion, Junaco is a must hear.
