Howling Bells’ Juanita Stein has just announced a full UK and Ireland tour to follow the release of her debut solo record, America, on 28th July via Nude Records.
Stein had already announced UK festival dates this summer, including with Tom Petty in Hyde Park and at Cambridge Folk Festival, ahead of a brace of headline shows – in her adopted hometown of Brighton and in London – the week the album is released.
The dreamy single to be taken from her album, which was recorded in Los Angeles with the producer Gus Seyffert, ‘I’ll Cry’ was previewed by Far Out Magazine earlier this month.
“‘I’ll Cry’ is a musical ode to the all-American greats I took my cues from as a budding songwriter,” says Stein. “Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline and the work of Phil Spector, all of whom made a significant imprint on my heart, I’m forever channeling that soulful sadness.
“I’ll Cry is a song that speaks of an impossible love, his resistance, her infatuation. Never a happy ending.”
