Introduction 01:06

Magic Mirror 01:55
Magic Mirror shows her beauty. It never once failed to show her what she wants to see. It hangs on a wall in an antiques shop like a pond in a golden frame. no other Mirror is the same. Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror. She turned up one day and the pretty face was missing. The man in the shop said he'd sold it yesterday. She barged by a kid on the rocking horse, which bowed as she slammed the door. And she ran home crying woe is me! Magic Mirror...

When she wakes from the same old dream she lies there & smiles at the ceiling. Widened eyes & it takes some time till shes able to shake off the feelings. She falls in love when shes dreaming with a celestial being and she comes alive when she's sleeping. Spends the day wishing time away while she relives her evenings of passion. Cos you see when she falls asleep she secretly meets with her lover. She falls in love when shes dreaming with a celestial being and she comes alive when she's sleeping.
4.
Shes made of stars at least thats what Ive heard. I sit beside her and there are no words. We're in a tree and the wind blows her hair. Closing our eyes we've combined with the air. See her when the sky's clear and if its full of clouds shes still here.
5.
Passerine catch the blue now my eyes are fixed on you. Flaxan day has begun and my fingers reach for the sun. We both flew in my dream of you but I can't get back again. Sail around in the gold you're the greatest story I told. I can't see through the dust, you're my favorite thing to discuss. We once flew in my dream of you but I can't get back again.
6.
Meadow brown, I lay down and the suns too bright to see. Legs like strings, painted wings, if I ask will you land on me. Red, White, Gold, you unfold, we could learn a lot from you. Oh my my butterfly when you're here the sky is blue. When you're here the sky is blue.

Sorry Worm 01:05
8.
Sitting squinting at the fireside. Thoughts & feeling with me by my side. There's the burning feeling on my skin but the flame is burning from within. The Earth devours me, the Sun turns Red, try to find the words but none are said. Something clear appears within my mind.. I'd been looking but there's nothing to find.
9.
Every Morsel 01:10
Blink & there's a sunbeam, take a breath & its all a dream. Every morsel has held the sun and so has everything we've done. There's no rhyme or reason, like a changing season. There's no rhyme or reason, like a changing season.
10.
The dolls heads on the pavement but she can't find the rest. Shadows grow on the wall, the tears are starting to fall. ahhhh. The kite follows behind here, it's just the perfect day. But as she looked to the sky the wind blew dust in her eyes. ahhh.
11.
The Gallant Rosanna is set for the sea, a man in bare feet asks "is there room for me? These snakes are like brothers we want to go south".Then pops a cherry stone out of his mouth. We head for a sky filled with colour & glow & silver waves. Rosanna had landed at coconut trees, the air filled with spices & peppermint tea. A shaky horizon laid down on the sea, the silver turned gold & the snakes were set free. The scars on his hands were illusions he sees. Now he is free.
12.
Walking Home 01:49
13.
Are you missing the sunny mornings and the grass on your feet? The magnolia blossom falling every time there's a breeze? Step outside your mind the dreamer is gone when the wind blows. Every feeling & thought expires, then a new one begins. We are one but we're in disguises, we're without & within. Everything around is rising & falling in silence. Step outside your mind the dreamer is gone now it's silent.
14.
Hey there, Hey there look down at the ground & see your roots. Hey you, Hey you could you hear the branches as they grew? Hey now, Hey now drink the sun from the river that runs through.

about

A few little songs recorded at home on an old 4 track cassette recorder during a break from The Junipers in 2020 / 2021. Inspired by some faves like Curt Boettcher, Vashti Bunyan, Paul McCartney, Donovan, Emitt Rhodes, Margo Guryan, Duncan Browne etc. Recorded and mixed in mono.
Shindig! Magazine Review:
"While everyone & everything is on hiatus, Joe of Leicester psychedelic poppers The Junipers has had time to create this short, home-recorded album of largely acoustic, folky material on a four-track cassette recorder.
Stripped of his main project's usual baroque-pop production, tracks do begin & often end abruptly, in improvisatory fashion, but these aren't demos - nor is he overly reliant on the wonky lo-fi aesthetic. For one thing the sheer amount of instrumentation on here is a cut above the usual four-track fare - acoustic guitar, bass, drums, multi-tracked voice, mellotron, celeste, harmonium, piano, the list goes on. But all are used judiciously to produce an accomplished & charming set of songs, none of which overstays it's welcome, or really even gets comfortable at all - the 16 tracks here take up just 27 minutes. It'll be interesting to see if any get fleshed out for the next Junipers album proper."
