Juanita Stein - "L.O.T.F"

You're going to want to join us in our newfound obsession with Brighton-based, Australian borh Juanita Stein. Her latest single, "L.O.T.F" is going to hit most of our readers right in their sweet spot. "L.O.T.F" (aka Land of the Free) chugs right along in that Americana way, complete with twangy guitars. But this is a straight up alt-rocker. It combines the drums of The White Stripes with the mainstream art rock noise of mid-career Wilco. It's an intense combination paired with an intense song that is going to be virtually impossible not to love.

The songs on Juanita Stein's upcoming album were inspired by the 2019 death of her father. Stein explains: 

"It feels fundamental to understanding the devastation and eerie silence thrust upon us after his sudden death. It was a daunting task to sum up the life of one man such as my father. He was endlessly inspiring, charming, deeply talented and passionately spiritual. He admirably, and at times frustratingly, carried the torch for his own musical career until the very end.”
