Out now via 15 love, Jura's ‘You Make a Fire, You Make a Camp’ feels more like a play than song. Developing over almost 9 minutes, softened brassy synth sounds swell around intricate rhythmic patterns as layers of vocals interact and evolve throughout. Five chapters, five strangers stuck together for five years, performed by five lead singers: this song is written by Jura for her vocal quintet consisting of ML Buch (as “Olivia”), Ydegirl (as “Cassie”), Helene Due ( as “Thea”), Clarissa Connelly (as “Julian”) and Jura herself (as “Julie”). She explains: "Just as how friends might remember a shared memory differently, we’re looking at the same melody from five different POVs here. Perspective and temper vary." Excellent individually and stunning together 'You Make a Fire, You Make a Camp' feels like particularly special work. Reflecting the journey of a talented group of friends and collaborators, Jura's vision feels authentic and pure in it's search for experimental compositional beauty.
