Near the end of August, I wrote an article about José González, front man for the Swedish group Junip, who is the subject of a new documentary titled The Extraordinary Ordinary Life of Jose Gonzalez. Junip's new album Fields 
simultaneously emanates focus and a laid-back approach to the music as you feel yourself begin to sway, then simmer, as the harmonized sounds fill the air. Become obsessed with listening, as I have. The new album can be heard in its entirety on NPR's "First Listen" through to the September 14 release date. Don't be shy, come and take the ride with me. To listen, click the NPR link below:
