Zubalsky or Juviley as he goes by for his music started out as a drummer for some of Israel's leading Indie musical acts including, Shy Nobleman, Geva Alon, and Daphna & The Cookies in 2002.

 

The Israeli singer songwriter has decided to now pursue a solo career. How to Miss the Ground is Juviley's debut effort. On it you'll find a collection of 12 songs that have a melodic at time almost whimsical feel to them. Words like, gentle, peaceful, and mellow come to mind while listening to the simple, uncluttered song arrangements.

 

The song lyrics are intentionally left abstract and open to your interpretation but in general deal with issues like love, dreams, and not compromising.

 

Juviley list Brian Wilson, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Belle & Sebastian, and Yo La Tengo as some of his musical influences.

 

Juviley wears many different hats on this release; besides writing the songs he also arranged and produced them along with playing most of the instruments heard on How to Miss the Ground.

 

Juviley now lives in New York City and is constantly performing his music anywhere he can from clubs to parks, and even subway stations.

 

How to Miss the Ground hits most of its marks and will offer you 41 minutes of dreamscape music that will help to allow you to let your thoughts run free.
