The second single from The Salt Collective’s upcoming project is released today with Juliana on vocals. The track also features Television’s Richard Lloyd.
Juliana’s other contribution to the album is the song Asylum (with Matthew Caws vocals) released as a single last month.
Propeller Sound Recordings, announcing a new album and project:
We are honored to welcome The Salt Collective to the Propeller Sound Recordings Family!!
A collective of artists joined French rock-trio Salt to create an exuberant record full of joy. Using the original demos and song sketches created by Salt in France, 12 new tracks were created in an American studio to help celebrate the very stuff of life, that from which it springs. The Salt Collective was born, connected through art featuring Matthew Caws, Juliana Hatfield, Matthew Sweet, Peter Holsapple, Richard Lloyd, Mitch Easter, Anton Barbeau, The dB's rhythm section (Gene Holder & Will Rigby), Susan Cowsill, Pat Sansone, and newcomer Faith Jones. Produced and guided by Chris Stamey.
We proudly release the first single "Asylum" from the upcoming album 'Life' featuring Matthew Caws (Nada Surf) & Juliana Hatfield.

Kyle Meredith’s Consequence interview this week with Susanna Hoffs about her newly released covers album Bright Lights touches on Susanna’s collaborations with other artists. Towards the end (at the 24:13 mark) they discuss Susanna working with Juliana 30 years ago on her When You’re A Boy album, where Juliana performed backing vocals and has a songwriting credit on the track That’s Why Girls Cry.
JPS has added more background on Twitter as to how that came about:
Nice interview. To fill in the story, David Kahne wanted to sign our band Blake Babies to Columbia and we cut a demos w/ him on a tour stop in LA (Club Lingerie in 1990). Then later DK brought JH out to work with you, but we didn’t end up signing. We broke up instead!

Here's the new official video for Local H's song Winter Western featuring Juliana's vocals (and silhouette.)
The video is directed by frequent JH collaborator Rachel Lichtman.
The song is taken from Local H's album Lifers, released last April and "relaunched" today with this video and an interview at Spin with Scott Lucas from the band.
Juliana sings backing vocals on this new song by The Mysteries of Life (Freda Love Smith and Jake Smith), and will feature on more tracks on their album due next year.
Jon Blistein, writing for Rolling Stone:
Joe Sumner, frontman of Fiction Plane and son of Sting, has shared a new song, “Hope,” along with a short celebrity-filled clip to encourage voter turnout ahead of the 2020 elections.
...
As a last-minute get-out-the-vote effort, Sumner corralled a variety of celebrities and musicians to cover the song, which he then cut into a big collage video. The clip features Sting, Ben Folds, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Corey Glover, Gaby Moreno, the Fantastic Negrito, Barnaby Bright, Aja, Ace of Cups, Juliana Hatfield, Rain Phoenix, Patti Scialfa, Rocky Duwani, Richard Marx, Southside Johnny and Christian Hebel.
Blink and you'll miss JH, but she's there.
Here's the full non-celeb version:
Sending love and hope to all my friends in the US this week.
Juliana performs backing vocals on three tracks from Long Fuse Burning - an album due for release in August 2019 by Magen Tracy & The Missed Connections.
One such track - Move A Crowd - is released today.
Speaking to Vanyaland on their collaboration, Megan says of Juliana:
“The parts she came up with are so cool, and not always the obvious ones; I love the way she heard and layered the harmonies on. There’s something about what she does on the last line on the chorus on this track – ‘like the way I moved with you’ – that makes me think of ‘Please Mr. Please,’ an ONJ song she covered on her album (and, more recently, live with Liz Phair!). We managed to get her to do the same with two other tracks on the album before she left that day, and each time she brought out something new.”
Magen has been a member of Juliana's live band over the years and now her own band will be supporting at Juliana's Boston City Winery show on July 22.
UPDATE September 2019: The album is now released. Here's another track which features Juliana on backing vocals:
Juliana appeared on stage for an encore at Liz Phair's show at Royale Boston last night (Oct 8, 2018.)
She performed Olivia Newton-John's Please Mr. Please with Liz and Speedy Ortiz's Sadie Dupuis.

The truth is, this is the first night Juliana and I ever met. The old industry separated female artists, almost pitted them against each other in the press. Now we’re sewing up the gaps. I love you @julianahatfield thank you so much https://t.co/Aa6pciJCCl

New!* Coming next month!**
Juliana features on a track titled Easy, which she has co-written with Brad. The lyrics are on Brad's site.
*As pointed out on the This Is The Sound Group, the words are a combination of lines from Don't Wanna Dance and Candy Wrappers, the former having been previously remixed by Walsh in 2011. So, sort of New!
** Update November 4, 2015 - the EP is now available on all major download / streaming services (in the UK at least - it's out in the US tomorrow - November 5). You can also hear it at SoundCloud.

Nada Surf have today announced a new b-sides compilation, to be released later this month - September 19 (EU) and 23 (US).
The track list features extra tracks from their last 4 albums and includes 'I Wanna Take You Home', which originally appeared on a bonus CD on 'Lucky' in 2008. It has not previously been available for download / streaming.
The song features Matthew Caws and Juliana Hatfield on dual vocal. The first ever Minor Alps song, sort of.
This is Minor Alps (Juliana Hatfield) (Matthew Caws) doing "I Want To Take You Home" live at Main St Records in Manayunk Pa on November 22 2013..
Juliana provides backing vocals on Hold Your Breath and Hard Fall Down; two songs on Erich Luening's debut album Red Flags, which is released today.
Luening is the cousin of Evan Dando, who also appears on the record together with Joe Keefe. Read more at Martha's Vineyard Patch.
You can listen to the tracks at myspace and download at Amazon UK, Amazon US, Junko Records and iTunes.
Completists may care to note that Fire Records have recently reissued Swerve by Giant Sand. The album dates back to 1990 and features Juliana's "Wonder Chirp scat & sings" backing contribution on three tracks. It's available in physical and download formats and if you have Spotify it's there too.
thanks to Carlos for the info.
First mentioned last year, Ryan Schmidt's album Black Sheep, Run is finally released today. It features Juliana's vocals on the track Night The Bells Rang.
The song is available as a digital download from Amazon UK, Amazon US and at iTunes. There's also a CD option available via Ryan's Facebook page.
