Oxford-based quartet Juniper Nights combines an eerie atmosphere with poetic lyricism and emotional delivery on soulful track “In This House,” which draws inspiration from Netflix TV show The Haunting of Hill House.Built on disorienting synths and echoing pianos and drums, the melancholic soundscape is punctuated by soft hums, wispy breaths ticking clocks and distant wind, that balance out sparse instrumentations with layers of intricate details.
Tapping into the idea of how we all helpless sometimes in the face of the ghosts of our pasts, whether events or trauma, the track evokes feelings of apathy, anxiety and anguish as it perfectly captures the heavy emptiness that strikes us in the dark periods of our lives.
Haunting and emotive yet able to awaken the realisation that no one is alone in their depressive episodes, the track showcases the four-piece’s ability to blend introspective lyrics with rich layers of sound influenced by alternative, indie and art rock.
Carving out a space for themselves in Oxford’s music scene, Juniper Nights is the act to turn to if we’re in need of some reflective yet anthemic sonic wisdom.
