{"product_id":"junior-rodriguez_stellar-dream_2019","title":"Stellar Dream","description":"Junior Rodriguez started playing drums at the age of 4, then bass and guitar at 9. He has been in various bands since he was 14 (Dick Rivers, Waxx, Inhatred, Airnadette, LoudBlast, Betraying the Martyrs, and many more…). From Hellfest to Glastonbury, with over 800 concerts to his name around the world, including the United States, this jack-of-all-trades even lived in Los Angeles and collaborated on a project with Tili, Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), and Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, Chris Cornell,…). He launched his solo career in 2014, claiming a right to the unconscious and to accidents. He records alone, instrument by instrument. Massive riffs, strong rhythms, haunting solos... Everything feels organic. He released a first EP featuring the incredible \"Sweet Demon,\" followed by a second one where \"Heavenlips\" and \"Cactus Seed\" became standout tracks. Junior believes that creation should remain fragile, fluid, and instantaneous. Through his hyperactivity and overflowing creativity, he offers something unique; his concerts are hypnotic. It’s no longer about fighting, but about taming. About opening doors. Filmmaker Albéric Jouzeau happened to attend one of Junior's first solo concerts. Captivated, he challenged him to go to Iceland and document the genesis of a new song. The goal was to create a unique work in these vast spaces with rudimentary equipment. This led to \"Starting From Nowhere,\" an extraordinary documentary series that brings us close to the artist in this mystical and musical adventure. After a sold-out preview at the legendary Grand Rex in Paris, the series will be released on YouTube starting May 3, 2019. From this adventure comes an album, with the first single \"Just Like You,\" mixed by Mark Stent (Oasis, Muse, Bjork, U2, Paul McCartney…) at East West Studio in Los Angeles, which received critical acclaim upon its release on May 20, 2019. The album \"Stellar Dream\" is set to be released on October 4, 2019, followed by a tour starting on November 26, 2019, at La Boule Noire in Paris. \"If Led Zeppelin was just one guy and was French, then Led Zepp would be Junior Rodriguez,\" says Classic Rock Magazine UK. It seems that the adventure is just beginning… By Samuel Degasne, Longueur d’Ondes Magazine.","brand":"Junior Rodriguez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58239976374616,"sku":null,"price":24075261.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3760301210658.jpg?v=1787438240","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/junior-rodriguez_stellar-dream_2019","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
