Juanita Stein will release the 'America Acoustic' EP on February 16.
The six-track record will feature stripped back versions of tracks from the Howling Bells vocalist's new solo LP, 'America', as well as a cover of Johnny Cash’s A Thing Called Love. Speaking about the release, Stein said:
“I had been asked to record some acoustic tracks for a radio station in the US and it occurred to me whilst doing so just how intimate and special these recordings could be. Ultimately, that’s how all my songs are born: just my self and a guitar usually in my bedroom. So it feels like a deeply honest representation of the music, without any outside interference at all. I wanted them to remain sparse, just a few harmonies and layering. It’s an exercise in itself, leaving the songs bare as bones. A lot of my favourite music tends to be all encompassing or artfully restrained. I wanted this to be just so.”
