Juanita Stein has confirmed plans for her new album ‘The Weightless Hour’.
The singer cut a swathe through the music scene by fronting Howling Bells, while Stein’s own solo work has won critical acclaim.
New album ‘The Weightless Hour’ is out shortly, representing a fresh chapter in her life. Out on November 29th, topics veer from the personal to the sociological, tethered together by Juanita Stein’s force of character.
Set to support Lemonheads’ legend Evan Dando on tour this October, Juanita Stein will then unveil the album alongside Travis on a further batch of live shows in December.
Out now, new single ‘Mother Natures Scorn’ offers lyrical directness, the searing tone of her songwriting tackling the eco-crisis.
She comments…
““As the title suggests, ‘Mother Natures Scorn’ is a song about our scorching of the Earth. It’s about recognising that we are in a moment approaching irreversibility. Even so, it feels as if the closer we ride into the storm, the more familiar we become with apathy, which is terribly frightening. I’m acknowledging the limitlessness of Mother Nature. It’s not self-righteous, I am not campaigning, I am merely recognising our intense vulnerability in this moment.”
