Jana Hunter - Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom - Review - Stylus Magazine (617 words)
Hunter has been producing handmade copies of her songs for years to sell at shows, send to friends, etc. In fact, she herself is a handmade woman in many ways.
But at the same time, Hunter’s two- and four-track recordings that often take place in her van and emerge as tape-hissed bliss folk are not an attempt at mimicking the past or trying to reproduce the anarchic.
Still, Hunter herself would be the first to admit and celebrate Banhart and Cabic’s influence on her as a musician and a person.
