Just as Fields pushed boundaries and expectations, Junip expands the stylistic palette yet again with unexpected juxtapositions. "We're somewhere between a German jazz band and an African pop band," Gonzalez cracks. As such, infectious album opener (and first single) 'Line of Fire' layers Beatlesque melody on top of a hypnotic groove that splits the difference between flamenco syncopation and krautrock repetition, Gonzalez's heartfelt vocal cresting with emotion as the track builds towards a symphonic climax. 'Baton' also introduces Gonzalez's infectious newfound whistling technique, where he creates hooks literally out of thin air.
