He’s leading a new rock band named Junip, with a new album, and tour in tow. Check out their free download of “Rope and Summit“. An EP and full-length will be released in 2010 via Mute in the US and the single has the smooth, signature Jose Gonzalez vocals, but with an electronic and organ element. The single gets a bit proggy as well… Crazy!
