Australian artist Juanita Stein, who is also singer and guitarist for Howling Bells, has announced her third solo album ‘Snapshot’ will be released via Nude Records on 2nd October. The album’s title track is available to listen to now. Inspired by her late father, Stein says of the album:
“It feels fundamental to understanding the devastation and eerie silence thrust upon us after his sudden death. It was a daunting task to sum up the life of one man such as my father. He was endlessly inspiring, charming, deeply talented and passionately spiritual. He admirably, and at times frustratingly, carried the torch for his own musical career until the very end. After I felt I had enough songs, I was moved to reach out to producer Ben Hillier, who I’d been a fan of since hearing records he made with Clinic, Elbow ad Doves to see if he might be interested in making this album with me.”
Juanita called upon her brother Joel Stein to play lead guitar:
“I knew only he could harness the exact frenzied energy needed for the songs. Both he and I were both going through something pretty momentous and I wanted to shift that energy into the music.”
