Juniper Tar, Nonagon, Frontier Ruckus, and Water Liars at Club Garibaldi
Every music career has its own unique arc, but artists who stick around long enough are guaranteed to experience a creative lull following a peak. Fans of Juniper Tar will have to keep waiting for that lull. While the band has recorded plenty of good material in the past, the new Since Before makes the group’s back catalog seem a bit timid and preparatory. The 2010 release The Howl Street EP was a major step forward from the band’s 2008 debut, but even it sounds languorous and uncertain compared with the new album. This is a group whose reputation rides on its rich vocal harmonies, which are as good as ever; the songwriting and conceptual prowess have finally caught up.
