  The Fabulist

  Various Artists

  July 2014

  “The Fabulist” is Juniperus’ debut full-length album, written and recorded by Saskatoon’s Jeffrey Popiel. Each of 12 songs is backed by classical guitar, acoustic guitar or baritone ukulele, and features a variety of instrumentation and contrasting genres ranging from dark blues to country to cheery folk-pop. Every song re-tells its corresponding fable using different voices for each character or narrator, while leaving the morals of each story open for interpretation. The choruses of each were conceived from Popiel’s imagination; the intention was to capture the essence of each fable while developing the chorus, and building from there. Produced by: Jeffrey Popiel. More info: www.juniperusmusic.com Released: July 10, 2014
