Review
Juliana Hatfield albums have varied only slightly from one another over the years, and the fact that she self-produced her latest serves as no distraction from the winning guitar-bass-drums formula. The major difference on In Exile Deo is that lyrically she wrestles with things in the past instead of, as she did in her Twenties, on the wounds of the present. The overall effect is something dark as well as desperate, even as the melodies weave like cotton candy and the guitars crunch like Kit-Kats. It's all here in the prosaic journal… Read More entries she forces on her songs: death, addiction, regret, childhood trauma and the good and bad ex-boyfriends she wishes were still around. In Exile Deo might be all too close to the bone for many a Gen Xer, her signature girlish voice reminding us how we never quite grew up, or got it right.
