Juni Habel‘s fragile finger-picked lullabies warm themselves by the open fire with her rich intimate voice atop twinkling arrangements and strange percussive instrumentation. Like glowing embers in the dark, these songs are odes to life and death, the beauty of belonging and human kinship with nature.
The Norwegian’s first album in three-years ‘Evergreen In Your Mind’ is released mid April on Basin Rock, following the breakthrough success of her ‘Carvings’ LP. The songs remain delicate, Habel’s voice playing an elegant lead role – but there are fluctuations too. The small shifts in Habel’s sound mark a notable stride forward, with more focus on the groove. Playfulness was embraced and, perhaps most importantly, patience played a fundamental role in shaping every element of this incredible set of torch folk songs. Brushed with the gentle touch of pastoral psychedelia, these are songs that sit in half-light, in the gas between where we are and where we might be.
“Sharing the same dusky light as Jessica Pratt’s records” – The Guardian
“Life affirming songs that establish Habel as a distinctive, modern folk voice.” – Uncut
“Those smitten with Myriam Gendron and Josephine Foster’s more direct missives will be instantly seduced” – MOJO
“Quietly arresting folk music from one of the genre’s most compelling new voices.” – KLOF
“A moment of hushed beauty” – CLASH
“Habel’s voice is bright and clean like a blade of fresh glass – somewhere between Nick Drake and Julia Jacklin.” – Stereogum
Brighton-based REA creates alternative folk music in quiet outdoor spaces. Raised between open fields and farmlands of rural Staffordshire, her music is deeply rooted in the natural world.
