专辑简介

From feeling unconditional love without the need to put a wedding ring on it (“We can just enjoy the joy we bring, and I’ll be in your life for life”), to treating each other like allies instead of opponents and what it means to be a good human beings (“We are all tired and we cannot do this alone”), Jun tackles various sociopolitical topics with her usual clever aplomb in third full-length effort The Heart and Home, The Body and Throne.

Album Review by Creative Loafing

The local anti-folk multi-instrumentalist composer, producer and vocalist — who imbues hints of hip hop, experimental electro, jazz, world music and rock into her sound — adds to her own sonic arsenal with additional players who broaden her overall musical palette without overburdening it, and carefully selects a few or a handful of components to build each track: strummed and plucked acoustic guitar with urgently bowed violins in “Higher Ground” or joined by mournful clarinet in “Lately”; hand-clapping, muted-thumping bass drum and plucked kalimba notes paired with deep organ tones in “Goodness in Us”; harpsichord and accordion melodies, the odd banjo strums, multi-tracked vocals, percussive rattles and electro-chugging machine drum beats in “Stones and Bullets.” All are marked by Jun’s resonant jazz-rich vocals and unique vibrato-bent phrasing, the star of another warmly inviting stripped-down effort.
