Juni Habel + Duncan Marquiss
Entry Requirements: OVER 18s ONLY
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, follows 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
Duncan Marquiss is a musician and visual art based in Glasgow. An experimental guitarist and member of The Phantom Band (Chemikal Underground), his instrumental solo record 'Wires Turned Sideways In Time' (Basin Rock) combines acoustic fingerpicking with electronic textures.
“He draws a thread between resonant guitarists such as Bert Jansch or Jim O’Rourke, and the gasoline groove of Cluster or Neu! The result is a filmic album of wide landscapes and wider inner spaces.” The Quietus
