Promise (Venice Beach) 01:42
lyrics
Venice, my darling you can’t come quick enough Venice, my darling you can’t come quick enough I miss your promised lands I miss your golden sands Venice, my darling you can’t come quick enough Wonder why you hold me

Happiness and Seafood (Santa Monica) 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Affluence surrounds me Abundance of rich, tanned faces Shopping bags hold Prada But Rodeo Drive is far away Here we are on 3rd Street Spitting dinosaurs line the promenade The palm trees here as native As the wannabes who make their home here Neon that you can’t escape from Neon Santa Monica Ferris wheel forever The rollercoaster shakes this timber Dipping dots and skeeball Arcane arcades are made of quarters Happiness and seafood That’s what they sell you here Lick it up just like the Pacific does upon these stilts
3.
High Emotion (Griffith Park) 03:25
lyrics
Can you believe all the Dust on your jeans As you wander ahead Of the pack? Ever so close yet You’re ever so far With the Sun beating Down on your back Blue is fading It’s time to get a move on You spit and curse That you don’t have better shoes on Don’t you start to cry! Look around you It is golden Look around you The Sun is molten Look around you At the ocean Look around you High emotion Giddy again as you Take in the sight Of LA and its Infinite roads So many tourists And so many purists are Speaking in their Little codes The Sun is bouncing Off every metal surface Griffith’s legacy is Looking so perfect Don’t you start to cry!

Aprons and Ambitions (Hollywood) 03:34
lyrics
One thousand lions for Just a morsel of meat And they’re out in the street I’m sure they sell you coffee They have to make sure That they’ve shaken their mane To be king of the plain It isn’t so simple Out in Hollywood Out in Hollywood There is a jungle At the oasis It’s a glamorous club Where they don’t allow cubs The buffalo are kingpins The monkeys look on As they swing in the trees They’re so easily pleased Just give them a banana (Just another one)

Corridors (Berkeley) 02:29
lyrics
Settle in the tree-lined Corridors of College Avenue Socialise with students with Appetites, here to get some food Take a look at the young minds Take a look at the young minds Take a look at the young minds And see the future Every thought is a gift so don’t mess it up Every thought is a gift so don’t mess it up Liberalised, lazy, not crazy Just want to have some fun Worship in the shadow of Ginsberg He lived just over there

Blue and Gold (Pier 39/Embarcadero) 03:56
lyrics
Looking out from Pier 39 Nostrils sting from slumbering sea lions Alcatraz, the fortress on the sea Thankfully not what it used to be Tourist trap that we know that it is Still, we want to tick it off our lists Wait until you set foot in Boudin Biggest bread bowls that you’ve ever seen Simply float away On the open bay Take this gorgeous day Simply float away Setting sail from Fisherman’s Wharf Check the instruments and check our course The piers stick out like rows of jagged teeth Gesturing to distant coral reef Sudden increase in your heart rate When you look upon the Golden Gate Floating ferries find their way home Over awesome azure foam
8.
Kerouac (North Beach) 03:36
lyrics
Kerouac and Cassady Live on as shadows here Italy is all I see Cafes, imported beer Painted walls And market stalls Can’t complete King of the Beats Melodies of Cadillacs Erased by hybrid hum Some of me would put it back I’d drink, live like a bum Back then it was scintillating All that died, it is so frustrating
9.
Acres (Twin Peaks) 03:46
lyrics
Here we are above California golden acres are Glowing out of sight Muni trains and microscopic cars We can see it all All the way to Mount Diablo See what’s in between Bridge and bay, a blue kaleidoscope Stretching out my limbs Finger lengths away from touching God Sutro Tower high Crooked like an awkward fishing rod Goodbye is getting close I don’t really wish to leave Goodbye is getting closer I don’t really wish to leave Fighting through the fog Shimmering, a silver ocean kiss Tiny little boats Out upon the Bay that I will miss A place I can be my own A place I can call a home

about

In his debut release, Calum Juniper takes you on a journey from the sun of Los Angeles to the fog of San Francisco. Drawing from his travels in California, each song is a postcard from the places he enjoyed most. His influences from classic LA bands like The Doors to the electronic sounds of Bay Area artists like Toro Y Moi come together to create a bold beginning to his solo career.
