The album is a brutal and critical look at modern human psychology and behavior; at personal and societal sickness. \"I think these songs are a reaction to how seriously and negatively a lot of people have been affected by the past four years,\" says Juliana. \"But it's fun, musically. There's a lot of playing around. I didn't really have a plan when I started this project.\"\"Chunks\" and \"Had A Dream\" are gritty and abrasive while \"Mouthful of Blood\" and \"Gorgon\" are groovy and ultra-melodic. All of it is eminently hummable and thought-provoking. Sophisticated but catchy. Challenging but danceable.\"I always love coming up with melodies and then trying to fit words into them-it's like doing a puzzle,\" says Juliana. \"And I always find places to use the Mellotron flutes and strings, on every album, because those sounds are so beautiful to me. They are a nice counterpoint to the damaged lyrical content.\"The album was recorded largely at home-Juliana's home in Massachusetts and new collaborator Jed Davis' home in Connecticut. \"During self-isolation I took the opportunity to finally learn how to record into my laptop,\" says Juliana, \"and that's how this album came to be. (Usually I work in a studio.) I did more than half the work in my room-with Jed helping me to troubleshoot the technology, and helping with building and arranging some of the songs-and then I finished up with additional overdubs and mixing with engineer James Bridges at Q Division Studios in Somerville, MA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Shame of Love \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Gorgon \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Nightmary \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Had a Dream \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Splinter \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Suck It Up \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Chunks \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Mouthful of Blood \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Dead Weight \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Torture\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Juliana Hatfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39339119280199,"sku":"41326947","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3927063-2666109.jpg?v=1711731442","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/juliana-hatfield-blood-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
