Hannah Judson Announces Her New Indie Rock album “Stingray.”
(Paris, France) 13 Feb. 2020 —
A new album from indie folk rock singer-songwriter Hannah Judson titled “Stingray” will be released March 15 on Boneyard Records.
Hannah Judson’s accomplished songwriting creates a landscape where love plays out, trips up, and moves on. Her original indie lyrics and vocals backed by an international array of supporting musicians make her fourth solo album, “Stingray” a fulfilling listening experience. While she has been based in France for the past 15 years, she has not forgotten her Chicago indie rock roots. Twists and turns of Americana, Country, and folk songs meander throughout the 8 song album, though the songs are ultimately rock. “Deep Sea Diver” revels in love’s first optimistic brush, and “Got a Thing for You” is a sweet and unexpected love from afar, but Stingray shows when you need to protect yourself, and Water Me Down is a song about living with loss .
Stingray tracks:
Deep Sea Diver
Got a Thing For You
Stingray
Silkworm
Parachute
Twisted
Light Above Your Head
Water Me Down
Here is a laid back performance of Got a Thing for You from a party in December at Hotel Demeure du Parc in Fontainebleau, France. You can see a little live looping, and Hannah with her trio.
Judson will be performing solo shows this summer in the US west and east coasts, and will perform with her full band this spring and fall in Europe.
Stingray was recorded at Boneyard Records in Sacramento California, and Rhizomatic Studios in Fontainebleau, France. This is the second project she has released with producer JL Espada.
Hannah Judson is a risky, engaging songwriter, constructing ethereal environments where danger and love combat in free fall. These songs lull the listener comfortably out on a ledge to show the view from there, then offer a little tug when it’s time to come back inside. Judson’s songwriting is rooted by the narrative tradition of Leonard Cohen and Joan Baez and is seamed with references to seminal artists like Liz Phair, Alanis Morissette and Lucinda Williams. Using delicate breathy clicks and pops to create percussive tracks, Hannah Judson’s performance is warm, funny, quirky and welcoming.
SK Shlomo said “Love this! Dylan meets Martha Wainwright."
Influences from both Chicago and Paris geographies are evident in this collection of original songs. Judson’s lyrically motivated songs are couched in confident electric guitar offered by Banjo Bones and soaring leads by Charlie Galunic. Brian Clevinger’s basslines support and counter the melody and Giorgi Khokhobashvili’s blistering jazz violin shows up on several tracks.
Hannah Judson is an internationally touring American singer-songwriter. She performs original indie folk rock songs that draw her audience into storylines of political, social and personal power, love and loss. With electric guitar and percussive vocals, she builds live looping harmonies and rhythmic layers. Hannah’s vocals co-mingle and ring out an intimate set, with a modern folk sound reminiscent of Cat Power, Lucinda Williams and Elliott Smith. Noted as “the real deal” by UK’s country music Maverick Magazine, and “with a style that channels Elliott Smith” by Indie Country fm radio, Hannah has appeared regularly in Paris, throughout Europe and the US west coast.
Hannah was active on the alternative music scene in Chicago that circled around the School of the Art Institute (where she studied painting and sound) and Wicker Park in the 90s and early 00s. In Chicago she was a continuous member of folk, grunge and alt/rock bands, as songwriter and lead vocalist. She produced and hosted GrrrlsRock events at Beat Kitchen. In 2014 she founded MUSEfest, an international event to support inspirational women in music, film and art. In 2018 she started working with Boneyard Records in Sacramento, CA. She is currently Director of Music for the LA Fashion Festival (LAFF). She recently completed an MBA in the music business at Berklee College of Music. She currently performs with Charlie Galunic (Professor, INSEAD) on lead guitar, and Brian Clevinger (Absynth Creator) on bass.
Hannah Judson is originally from Maine, and lives in the Paris Region, France.
