Label GB

Nude

Nude Records, founded by Scotsman Saul Galpern in 1991, is a renowned music label based in northwest London. With the successful launch of Suede's debut album in 1993, Nude Records quickly gained recognition and went on to sign talented artists such as Sharkboy, Goya Dress, Geneva, and Billy MacKenzie. Despite facing challenges that led to voluntary liquidation near its 10th anniversary, the label's legacy continued through Sony Music and One Little Indian. In 2016, Nude Records was re-launched and remains an active force in the music industry.

Throughout its history, Nude Records has been instrumental in discovering and nurturing exceptional talent. The label's early success with Suede paved the way for other notable signings who have left their mark on the industry. Artists like *Ultrasound*, *Mainstream*, and *Black Box Recorder* have contributed to the diverse roster of Nude Records.

While faced with difficulties along the way, including changes in ownership and restructuring, Nude Records has proven its resilience by adapting to new circumstances. The label continues to support emerging artists while also celebrating its rich history with iconic acts like Suede. As it enters a new era of creativity and innovation under its re-launch in 2016, Nude Records remains committed to delivering outstanding music experiences for fans worldwide.

Juanita Stein returns with her new album, Snapshot, the Howling Bells singer and guitarist’s third solo LP.

Working with the producer Ben Hillier (Blur, Doves, Nadine Shah), Snapshot was written and recorded over a period of eight months following the sudden death of Stein’s father, Peter, in 2019. Juanita was exceptionally close to her dad - he was her earliest introduction to music and gifted her a childhood “exploding with sounds of 60s folk, rock’n’roll, delta blues, country and soul”. She describes feeling “a compelling inspiration I’d not felt before” during songwriting sessions for the album, which is entirely given over to Stein and her family’s changed world following Peter’s death. The title track, Snapshot, was the last song to be written and, she says, “is me clinging on to what I have left of him in my mind.”

Along with Hillier, Stein recruited her brother (and Howling Bells bandmate), Joel, on guitar, jazz drummer Evan Jenkins, and Jimi Wheelwright (bass) to help realise the songs. The album is a progression from her two previous solo LPs, which had both been recorded during intensive sessions of just a few weeks, and both in the U.S. The benefits conferred by the extra time and space, plus being close to home during this time of grief, can be heard in its more expansive, exploratory, sometimes downright psychedelic sound. Despite the album’s tough subject matter, Stein’s voice is, as ever, a balm.
