It's the kind of music you'd get if Brian Wilson and Sigur Ros drove an ice cream van into Fleetwood Mac.
Justin Winokur makes smart, sad, quirky rock songs charged with sweet harmonies and rich guitar sounds -- the kind of music you'd get if Brian Wilson and Sigur Ros drove an ice cream van into Fleetwood Mac.
He spent years in heavy/rock/punk/industrial bands like Mortal and Spitkiss sitting on a not-so-metal secret: he wanted to write love songs. Not just wanted to; he couldn't help it. No matter what he tried to write, just about the only thing that ever came out was a sad love song.
After years of shelving those songs, he gave in and sold everything he had to fly to Sweden to record his first album, "Thirteen Songs About Love," with his hero producer Christoffer Lundquist. Justin's song "I Loved You More," one of the singles available at Junk Musik,
Sweden's first Internet-only music distribution and publishing company, reached number 40 on the Swedish download charts!
He's recently finished up his second solo album (again in Sweden with Christoffer Lundquist), which will be out next year.
"A very touching and emotive album … A very lovely album that comes very recommended. " - Indiepop Spinzone on Thirteen Songs About Love
