Since her first release in 2019, Juice Webster has been an artist whose music is a kind of summoning— soft echoes of connectedness and courage; lightweight and all-encompassing. Her music is a fragrance. One that reminds you of yourself, of a lover’s face close up, of time that is fragmented, but still felt all over. Her acclaimed EPs You Who Was Myself and More Than Reaction have seen her play sold out shows around Melbourne, from a 2-night EP launch stint at The Tote, to a 2022 performance slot at The Forum. She has also made appearances at Town Folk Festival, Brunswick Music Festival, and on touring circuits supporting the likes of Mimi Gilbert and Slowly Slowly.
This episode I chat with Juice Webster about the development of songs beyond their recording and the ever evolving meaning and progression of songs. We discussed putting together an unhinged live show, her debut album JULIA and broke down some tracks off the new album and the process of recording these songs between the bush and the city.
