How To Walk Away, on Ye Olde Records, finds Hatfield singing in top form. “Finally,” she says, “I feel like my voice has grown into itself and I’m not struggling so much against its little-girl-ness.”
The album features guest appearances by two other distinctive vocalists: Psychedelic Furs’ Richard Butler on “This Lonely Love” and Nada Surf’s Matthew Caws on “Such A Beautiful Girl.” Other featured guest musicians were Fountains Of Wayne guitarist Jody Porter (some lead guitar); Jeff Hill, of Rufus Wainwright’s band, on bass; and Ethan Eubanks of the Grey Race on drums. Tracy Bonham guested on violin, and Jason Hatfield, Juliana’s brother, played piano on two songs, which he co-wrote (“Remember November” and “Such A Beautiful Girl”).
How To Walk Away was recorded at Stratosphere Sound, the NYC studio co-owned by Adam Schlesinger (Fountains Of Wayne), James Iha (formerly of Smashing Pumpkins), and Andy Chase (of revered alt-rock/pop band Ivy), who produced the album. How To Walk Away is evocative, layered, and unhurried yet Chase has managed to retain Hatfield’s essential rawness of spirit, smoothing out some rough edges but not all. Witness, for example, the loose, danceable “Now I’m Gone,” sung (and played) by Hatfield in one inspired improvisational take. And while she has frequently drawn from personal experience in the past, these songs are some of her most candid ever.
