about

Junegrass is back and bending with a summer breeze.
They’re back with Keen On the follow up to their cassette-tape Electric Grass (Eye Vybe, 2018). Keen On is developed, sharp but supplely groovin’, full, fun, struttin’ and psyched-out. It’s three tunes that clock in at around 5 minutes each. Plenty to sit with, chew on, and rock to.

Junegrass opens here with an appetizer, “Farm to Table,” some uncanned heat served fresh. A staple in yer diet, that good, good cud. Penultimately, track number two, they give us, “Thunder Guise.” Some slow, dark clouds rolling in the distance. Really rolling, folding, a slow burn, electric, but it ain’t the same as the last time. Last, for a little dessert, is “Very Cherry”— candy so sweet it gets stuck in your teeth and turns ‘em red.

These fellas sound better than ever. Another shape, but still locked in, another day, any place. Experience the -grass anew again and again. Without further ado—Keen On.

Keen On welcomes back Chicago jammers Junegrass to the circuit with three treatments of tight and lively skronky funk grooves that shows off an ability to stretch things out and reach ecstatic peaks all in short five minute intervals leaving room to wonder what kind of magic may come from a longer live exhibition. - New Commute

The veteran Chicago jammers harvest a crop of instrumentals that cross pyschedelia, prog and post-rock with a dash of jazz and even a touch of Beefheart. Bon appetit. - Tinnitist
