Juanita Stein - Mother Natures Scorn

We have been fans of Australian singer/songwriter Juanita Stein ever since we heard "Snapshot," the title song from her third album. Now the UK-based artist announces her fourth album with the pensive and super gorgeous "Mother Natures Scorn." For The Weightless Hour, Juanita once more joins forces with her long-time collaborator, the producer Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Doves, Blur, Elbow). While it's pretty much obvious what the song might be about, Juanita is so kind to offer the following insight:

“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.”

Learning more about the artist and her upcoming album, I am especially intrigued by the fact that she stripped it down of almost any further instrumentation but the guitar and says about that artistic decision:

“I think making records is a really powerful way of letting go of experiences. I’m allowing myself to kiss things goodbye. I’ve finally learned to be okay in space and be loud in my experiences.”
