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 Mariee Sioux Grief in Exile Folk | Night Bloom Records | 1LP, Includes Insert Released 7th June 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mariee Sioux Grief in Exile £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Night Bloom Records SKU: Night Bloom Records 005LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Insert Released Date: 7th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists The Rough Guide to Murder Ballads Folk | World Music Network | 1LP Released 26th April 2024 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists The Rough Guide to Murder Ballads £14.00 Genre: Folk Label: World Music Network SKU: RGNET1426LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Seth Lakeman Ballads Of The Broken Few Folk | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th September 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Seth Lakeman Ballads Of The Broken Few £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP644 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Norma Waterson & Eliza Carthy With The Gift Band Anchor Folk | Vinyl 180 | 180g, 2LP Released 29th May 2018 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Norma Waterson & Eliza Carthy With The Gift Band Anchor £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Vinyl 180 SKU: VIN180LP135 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 29th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hurray For The Riff Raff Hurray For The Riff Raff Americana / Country | Loose Music | 1LP Released 8th May 2020 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hurray For The Riff Raff Hurray For The Riff Raff £17.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Loose Music SKU: VJLP191 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sufjan Stevens The Age Of Adz Folk | Asthmatic Kitty Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 31st October 2010 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sufjan Stevens The Age Of Adz £13.00 Genre: Folk Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records SKU: AKR077LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st October 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marissa Nadler Little Hells Folk | Kemado | 1LP Released 27th April 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marissa Nadler Little Hells £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Kemado SKU: KEM086 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rachael Yamagata Tightrope Walker Folk | Frankenfish Records | 1LP Released 23rd September 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rachael Yamagata Tightrope Walker £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Frankenfish Records SKU: FF9231 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Willie Dunn Creation Never Sleeps, Creation Never Dies: The Willie Dunn Anthology Folk | Light In The Attic | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th March 2021 £35.00 - £40.00 Select options Willie Dunn Creation Never Sleeps, Creation Never Dies: The Willie Dunn Anthology £35.00 - £40.00 Genre: Folk Label: Light In The Attic Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th March 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Fairport Convention The Broadcast Album 1968-1970 Folk | Rhythm and Blues Records | 1LP Released 8th July 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fairport Convention The Broadcast Album 1968-1970 £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rhythm and Blues Records SKU: RANDB96LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
