‘Space-rock’ devotees Junodream have been building momentum for a few years, releasing heavily atmospheric tunes that have steadily established a formidable discography and raised eyebrows across the country. Their debut album is another beast entirely, not just hinting at the promise of talent but delivering on it in droves.

The ten tracks that define ‘Pools of Colour’ divulge into varying thematic territories, with personal reflections and commentary on global systems arriving as poignantly as each other. Still, an overarching sense of confusion with and frustration at the modern world binds them together into a powerful vision well worth exploring.

Songs like lead single ‘The Beach’ seek space for quiet reflection, pensively shaping a deep soundscape that never quite lets listeners out of its grasp. The stirring tones of ‘Kitchen Sink Drama’ juxtapose this with unfiltered desperation, and its fast pace shows what Junodream’s version of a ‘banger’ sounds like. Hidden gems lie within every groove of the tracklist, waiting to become your new favourite of this cohesive, consistent work; the joy of this discovery must be felt first-hand.

Pulling sonically from Pink Floyd and lyrically from Radiohead, Junodream twist a timeless style into something very current and exciting.
