Juliana Hatfield- Live At Q Division Studios, April 2021: In Exile Deo Album

 

 

 

For the fifth live-stream in her album series, Juliana Hatfield chose the record, In Exile Deo to perform in it's entirety, solo electric. In Exile Deo was released in 2004, the long awaited follow-up to a pair of radically different albums, Beautiful Creature (melodic, low key, beautiful) and Juliana's Pony: Total System Failure (noisy, messy and angsty) that were released simultaneously in 2000. I re-listened to In Exile Deo a couple days before the live stream and was reminded what a truly great album this is. Every track is good, no throwaways and I didn't realize how many interesting songs there are on the record. I would rank this as one of her best, definitely top 3, but how many people own or have heard this album? If you have it, listen again, if you don't, stream it (or YouTube it) or pick it up in the bargain bin at your local record store! This live set is a very nice stripped down companion piece to the album.

 

"I can't play this serious song with hair like this, actually...my ammo, take something bad and make it worse"

For this live recording, I opted not to record the show live because I've experienced so much trouble with laggy, glitchy internet, so I watched and recorded the audio the next day. The sound quality as usual is perfect and Juliana's performance was definitely her most confident of the live stream shows. Only a minimal amount of issues and technical difficulties with her loop pedal, but otherwise she seemed relaxed and comfortable playing these songs. It's a pretty straightforward set, she plays the album, chats a bit, then it's done. No extra bonus songs this time, but no worries the next live stream will be in (less than) two weeks on May 8th at 4pm Eastern for the release of her new album, Blood. The Blood record release party (official release date May 14th), will feature not the whole album, but she will play a selection of tracks from the record, as well as songs from her "vast decades-spanning repertoire that all somehow touch on the idea of blood". The show is free and open to all, but if you can, donations are always welcome. Really looking forward to this one!

Enjoy!
