Thus far, Junip, the soft and textured Swedish rock band led by José González, have made two videos for songs from their recent self-titled sophomore album, with director Mikel Cee Karlsson. Both of those videos, for "Line Of Fire" and "Your Life, Your Call," have been extremely Scandinavian fucked-up visions of interpersonal dynamics, everyone acting like vampires to everyone else. Their new one, for "Walking Lightly," goes a different direction, with director Fredrik Egerstrand filming an atmospheric performance clip. The new direction makes sense. The band isn't exactly the most commanding live presence, but they do work up a very pretty cloud of sound, and this video lets us see all the moving parts involved in that, while mirroring the song's vibe. Check it out below.
