With fall and winter just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about the best local releases of 2012. One album that’s sure to make our list is Juniper Tar’s excellent Since Before. Here’s some of what A.V. Club writer Cal Roach had to say about the record back in May:
At a time when the EP is hipper than the LP, Since Before is a best-of-both-worlds achievement. The separate sections could all function as self-contained movements, but the thematic threads that tie them together make a strong case for the continued relevance of the almighty album. Such lofty ideals aren’t apparent in the music, though; Juniper Tar cruises through the record with the relaxed confidence that comes from knowing you’ve made your most definitive statement so far.
Now, Since Before and a handful of bonus tracks are being offered as a free download on the group’s Bandcamp site. Check it out now, as the offer ends Sept. 30.
