Junip Release “Walking Lightly” Video

posted in: Music News • Pop • Rock

Swedish rock act Junip are keeping their high-brow indie cred alive with the release of the official video for their new single, “Walking Lightly.”

Junip have released two videos for tracks off their self-titled debut before today, and in both clips viewers witnessed a barrage of odd imagery, including a world filled with vampires. These big ideas have given the band a decent amount of cred in the YouTube world, but for “Walking Lightly” the group have chosen a completely different approach. Teaming again with director Fredrik Egerstrand, the new visuals from Junip are little more than a well-edited performance piece set in the midst of a foggy forest. There are harsh red and orange lights in the distance that paint the band into evocative silhouettes, but that is about it. You can view the clip below.

The above description may read like a bit of a slam, but I actually think “Walking Lightly” is one of the better videos Junip have delivered. It may not carry the same eye-popping ideas as its predecessors, but it pairs perfectly with the music being performed.

Junip’s self-titled album is available now. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on “Walking Lightly.”
