The Fabulist
Various Artists
July 2014
With a year and five months into the project’s beginnings, “The Fabulist” was released on July 10th, 2014 as Juniperus’ official debut full-length release. Inspired directly by Aesop’s fables, the album was created with an intention to channel the spirit of each chosen fable into each new song. Authored and composed by Jeffrey Popiel, every track re-writes its respective 2600 year old fable, simply titled after its translation. Without an intent of any particular genre, the diversity in music of “The Fabulist” is as broad as its selection of instrumentation, ranging from the drudgey blues in “The Crow and the Pitcher,” to folk country of “The Horse and the Groom,” to ethereal ambient folk of “The Moon and Her Mother”.
