“Juno” by Remi Wolf

By: Avery Wageman

“Juno” is an amalgamation of the best aspects of Wolf’s music. Her fiery vocals are matched with layers of beats, bass, and electric guitar. Her lyrics are eccentric and funky, even weird at times, but still touch on complicated topics like her journey with alcoholism, lockdown and loneliness, and her fear of abandonment.

One of the most memorable tracks is “Sexy Villain,” linking Wolf’s interest in true crime with her perception that she is the villain in her relationships. She humorously depicts herself as a serial killer in the lyrics, “He's a keeper/ big believer/long as he don't check the freezer/ Yum, yum yum.” 

Another favorite off the album is “Street You Live On,” the concluding track on the record. With her decelerated vocals, electro beats, and melancholic lyrics about a breakup, “Street You Live On” sounds like something off of one of The 1975’s albums.

“Juno” is an instant mood booster, a refreshing alternative to the somber music I find myself listening to this time of year as the weather gets cold. I hope y’all have as much fun listening to this album as I have.
