Juliette Lewis Talks About New Album
Juliette Lewis been talking about her new album, which is to be called 'Terra Incognita'. The actress turned singer will release her next LP backed by a new band, The New Romantiques, who replace her old band, The Licks.
Lewis explained the reasons for the change in a statement: “Because this album is so sonically different than anything I've done before and captures many flavors of my emotional life and voice, [the band] needed an entirely new name. 'Terra Incognita' means unknown territory – and that's where I wanted to go musically. The guitars are more wild and atmospheric. The groove is dark and deep and allow for a lot of sonic contrasts. It took me five years to really cut my teeth both as a performer and as a songwriter and I wanted to break all the habits I'd gotten used to and let songs develop out of a groove or simple piano notes and melody”.
Juliette Lewis and her New Romantiques will appear at South by Southwest later this month. A release date for the new LP and more tour dates are yet to be announced.
