Album Notes

Juniper Lane is a four-piece modern rock band from Washington, DC, with a sound characterized by the powerful lead vocals of Vivion Smith and stunning, rich musical arrangements. Before Sirens From A Mile Back, they released two other full-length albums; their sophomore release, Tightrope (2001) received dozens of gleaming reviews in the press and spins on commercial and college radio stations. This album put JL on the radar of the music industry and fans nationwide.

In November 2003, Juniper Lane released their follow-up album, Sirens From A Mile Back. On this album, JL worked with a production/mixing team including producer Ted Comerford (Virginia Coalition, Lucky Town, ebo), Joe Zook (Remy Zero, The Exies), and Paul David Hager (American Hi-Fi, Hoobastank, Tracey Bonham). The album was recorded at El Dorado (Los Angeles), as well as Low Watt Studios (Washington, DC). These rock songs showcase the band's songwriting talents through insidious melodies and dynamic arrangements. The album demonstrates that the band doesn't always "color between the lines." Their songwriting has undeniably evolved since their last release, and the result is music that evokes a myriad of emotions and defies existing, traditional musical boundaries. Vivion's star performance on the new album, which is also unmistakable during the band's live performance, assures the band will continue to deliver nationally what the mid-atlantic region has already enjoyed.

REVIEWS

Great stuff! Listenable yet intense.
author: Dan Stohr
Great new stuff from JL! The writing is getting deeper, more complex, and is touching on darker themes with a growing maturity. Apology, Now That I've Started and Stabilize show some really cool interweaving of lyrical themes with colorful yet tasteful guitar work. Soon I'll Be Away and Only Six show a harder and crisper edge. Viscosity and Cracks in the Pavement sound like strong power pop--until you read the lyrics ... Great Stuff!

Good, solid, female-fronted vocals. Tight musicianship.
author: D. Strebe
I found this CD to be easy listening, while still retaining it's intended edge. It's obvious that JL put in a lot of hard work on the tracking and production of this album. The recording is top notch.... A lot of the songs tend to sound alike, but that's not necessarily a bad thing with Juniper Lane. This album is instantly likable, and will probably be one of those CDs to stay in your stereo for 2-3 weeks at a time. Four stars. (A few heavy chug chug E chord crunch songs would have gotten it five stars, but hey...that's just me..)

Enjoyed it immensely- go buy it now!
author: Clifford Krause
Where previous album tightrope was about youthful optimism this one is more grown-up with songs about pain and disillusionment. Here again I find the lyrics to be more interesting and intelligent and personal than standard pop fare. Beautiful music and wonderful singing. This is real music- not plastic synthetic homogenized crap. Stop reading this and go buy it!
