Juanita Stein of Howling Bells recently returned with her fourth solo album, The Weightless Hour, via Agricultural Audio.
“Motionless” is a highlight from the album, an anthemic blend of folk and indie rock with a punch to it. The track is about her inability to remain still, and carries a swift emotional delivery and sneaky infectious chorus that has a bit of an Angel Olsen-esque quality about it.
Further detailing the track she adds:
“the song is about my inability to remain still, I have an inexplicable desire to keep moving no matter what, how or when. I’d rather have the car drive in reverse than have it sit still. I’d rather the train head in any direction, than stall on the tracks. I’m acknowledging that I hold my breath through the pain of things and rather than sit and deal with the discomfort, I’ll move in any other direction. I’m constantly learning, as I think a lot of us are, how to be motionless”.
