Juliana rocks out.
Released simultaneously with the sublime Beautiful Creature, Total System Failure is the guitar rock one.
Borne out of a desire to express the darker side of her lyrics with equally representative dark music, and perhaps a reaction to her return to Boston reflecting on the experiences of L.A.
"Metal fume fever is the name of an actual illness. When I first heard the term, in passing, I thought, “I have to use that as a song title. It rocks!” I knew next to nothing about the illness, then. All I knew was that hearing those words conjured up nightmarish images in my head, and those images were what I wrote about. In protest. It’s a protest song."
