Hailing originally from northern Texas and currently residing in Baltimore, Jana Hunter is one of the best and most underrated luminaries on the neo-folk scene. She was raised in a large religious family, the fifth of nine children, and as an orchestral violinist played classical music throughout her youth. Inspired by pop and rock music (Beck, the Velvet Underground), she wrote and recorded songs that featured many overlapped tracks of her own voice, guitars and violin.
After a show in 2003 and subsequent friendship with Devendra Banhart, who took great interest in Hunter's work and distributed it to many friends and colleagues, she left Texas and moved to New York. Jana played shows and forged working relationships with other musicians living in New York at the time, like Castanets and CocoRosie. Hunter's first records, a split 12" with Banhart and her debut full-length (Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom; on Banhart's record label Gnomonsong) were released in 2005. Blank... was a thirteen-song "best of", compiled in part from various CD-R releases, and it garnered impressive critical acclaim. She followed with 2007's There's No Home full-length and EP, titled Carrion.
Jana Hunter's new album is due out in 2009 via Gnomonsong.


Review of Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom
By Jon Pitt, Dusted Magazine

For better or worse, the career of singer Jana Hunter will inevitably be tied to Devendra Banhart. Many listeners’ first introduction to Ms. Hunter came on the Banhart curated Golden Apples of the Sun, and then there was the Banhart/Hunter split vinyl on the Troubleman Unlimited label.

It’s not surprising then that Banhart would choose to release Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom, Hunter’s first official full-length collection of songs, as the first release on his new Gnomonsong label. But to claim that Hunter is merely riding on Banhart coattails is preposterous in light of just how outstanding the songs on Blank... are. Hunter’s music is stylistically, thematically, and lyrically about as far from Banhart’s as one can get while still working within the ever-widening boundaries of the “folk” genre, and label-name aside, Blank... should put her at the front of the new-folk scene as her own artist.

Culled from numerous self-recorded and released songs Hunter has been dragging around on tour for the past few years, Blank... is more a self-proclaimed “Greatest Hits,” and due to poor track sequencing (one of the record’s most profound faults), it sounds like an unbalanced collection. To her credit, Hunter makes each song a tiny masterpiece in its own right, and while the album doesn’t flow as well as it could (opener “All the Best Wishes” is a fantastic bit of ghostly oldies-balladry, but suffers as the first track) each song works its way into the listener’s head in its own way, in its own time.

Hunter’s androgynous vocals, whether doused in effects or brought richly to the front of the mix, are really the centerpiece of these songs, and are showcased especially well in the two a cappella numbers “The Earth Has No Skin” and “Laughing and Crying”. Hunter’s guitar playing here is fairly understated, relying on bass notes and effects to create the dreamlike mood that pervades the record. Which is not to say that she is all style and no substance. On the contrary, even the most processed of these songs have a lively yet hypnotic core that conveys Hunter’s magnetism where words like ethereal and psychedelic fail.


Review of There's No Home
Boomkat

Jana Hunter's debut album Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom definitely showed promise, but as an album deserved of repeat plays it fell short — there were just too many ideas left hanging and a haphazard tracklisting which made it too difficult to really sink in. Her follow-up There's No Home, however, is an album which threatens very little but excites, enthrals and seduces at each and every moment of its forty minute duration. Where the first record was an introverted, deeply personal 'best-of' collection, gathering together cuts from odds and ends, There's No Home is the exact opposite, a fully realised 'proper album' recorded in a mere two weeks, and as complete and fully-realised as you could imagine. In fact, so accomplished is the material here that it feels like a long-lost treasure from the golden age of folk-rock. That's not to say it's dated, but it has the quality of a time when songwriting was at its best and the production so measured, revelling in its simplicity but never to the detriment of the tracks themselves. Hunter might not have the profile of her occasional touring partner Marissa Nadler or the equally Devendra Banhart-endorsed Josephine Foster, but what she has done with this album is achieve a milestone in the sprawling free-folk movement. An absolutely stunning record.


Review of Carrion
Boomkat

The EP is made up of three exclusive songs taken from the album sessions, two demos of songs which later made it to the album and one acoustic version, but far from an 'odds and ends' compilation, this is a hugely enjoyable companion piece showing Hunter's sense of restraint and genuine talent for affecting, melancholy songwriting. The highlight of the EP is an instrumental track, 'You Will Take It and Like It' — to my mind, one of the most powerful compositions Hunter has ever put her name to. Ending on a stripped down acoustic version of 'Oracle' I'm left with no doubt in my mind of Jana Hunter's undervalued genius.
