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. Push open the door of the old school house in the remote flatlands of Southern Norway that Juni Habel shares with her close-knit family and climb the stairs; you’ll find yourself in a former classroom – the home of her new album Carvings. A songbook of life’s lessons offering an expansive perspective as it navigates personal shadows between darkness and light. “I knew I wanted to write from a larger perspective. I wanted to write about the course of nature, and the people in it – life and death, beauty and tragedy.” Juni says, “loss – the search for the dead – grasping to find the words, and liberation of giving that up. I also wanted to explore my own kinship with nature – a sense of belonging, and notice what is around with gratitude and zest for life.” This unyielding spirit of family and nature is etched into Carvings’ unschooled approach. With beauty in mock-simplicity and radiating humanity like the music of Tia Blake, Julie Byrne or Myriam Gendron, Juni’s songwriting unfolds on her own terms, and is the sound of facing whatever mother nature decides will find its way to the top of the list. Recorded between the classroom (‘big hall’), the hallway on the 2nd floor, and her bedroom with simple gear and vocals laid down in a single take. Co-producer, musician and singer Stian Skaaden, became her melodic confidant and experimental co-conspirator halving the burden by building the album’s layers through blowing a pipe, playing bow on the banjo, bottles or glockenspiel. “With this album I wanted to lean deeper into the process. The title Carvings illustrates thoroughness. It was a vulnerable project, to strive for creating something truly beautiful, to pour my soul into it,” she says. Uninhibited by the possibility of ‘mistakes’ and jamming until she struck gold, Juni confidently discovered the truest expression of herself. “It takes courage to do things ‘wrong’ with uncertainty, record lyrics which are strange but feel right, on crappy mics, it can be good to fumble a bit,” Juni says before tellingly, “the joy of playing is quite fragile. I have to protect it. You can’t use your head, you have to be inside the song.” Artist Juni Habel Genre Folk Label Basin Rock Buying Options 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Format 180g , 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Rhythm Of The Tides I Went Out And Sought For Your Name Little Twirl Valiant When We Awake Chicory Drifting Pounds Of The Train I Carry You, My Love Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Fly My Pretties The Studio Recordings Part One Folk | Loop Records | 1LP Released 25th October 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fly My Pretties The Studio Recordings Part One £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Loop Records SKU: LPV089 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Richard & Linda Thompson Pour Down Like Silver Folk | Island | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 11th September 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Richard & Linda Thompson Pour Down Like Silver £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Island SKU: 7798110 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stick In The Wheel From Here: English Folk Field Recordings Folk | Stick In The Wheel | 1LP Released 17th March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stick In The Wheel From Here: English Folk Field Recordings £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Stick In The Wheel SKU: SITW005LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kathryn Joseph Bones You Have Thrown Me And Blood I’ve Spilled Folk | Hits The Fan Records | 180g, 1LP Released 8th June 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kathryn Joseph Bones You Have Thrown Me And Blood I’ve Spilled £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Hits The Fan Records SKU: HTF002LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 8th June 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yorkston / Thorne / Khan Everything Sacred (Indie Exclusive) Folk | Domino | 1LP, Includes 7", Includes Download Code Released 15th January 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yorkston / Thorne / Khan Everything Sacred (Indie Exclusive) £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP367X Formats: 1LP, Includes 7", Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sharon Van Etten Epic Folk | Ba Da Bing | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 28th October 2010 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sharon Van Etten Epic £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: Ba Da Bing SKU: BING072 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th October 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Al Lewis Te yn y Grug Folk | Al Lewis Music | 1LP Released 21st February 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Al Lewis Te yn y Grug £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Al Lewis Music SKU: ALM023V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View John Feeley John Feeley Folk | Gael Linn | 1LP Released 13th June 2014 £5.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations John Feeley John Feeley £5.00 Genre: Folk Label: Gael Linn SKU: NN70104 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Bonny Light Horseman Rolling Golden Holy Folk | 37d03d | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th October 2022 £19.00 - £20.00 Select options Bonny Light Horseman Rolling Golden Holy £19.00 - £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: 37d03d Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th October 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Marissa Nadler Marissa Nadler Folk | Box of Cedar | 1LP Released 10th July 2011 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marissa Nadler Marissa Nadler £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Box of Cedar SKU: BOC001LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th July 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
