All of Us, Juneville’s third album, deals with the disappearing of memories and the preciouness of the time we have. Both personal and universal, songwriter and singer Pieter Nabbe reflects in nine short stories on time. The title track tells his experience with informal care and loss; New York City brings back his memories durring his stay in Brooklyn years ago. I Remember Everything is the only cover on the album, written by John Prine.
The music, written by Pieter Nabbe and guitarist Bart Spierings is, like their debut In The Garden, melancholy and delicately arranged, and shifts from americana to country.
Singer Marieke Voshart-Bakker makes a special appearance as backing vocalist; with her angelic voice she adds extra emotional depth to songs such as Someday and Rain Will Fall Again.
All of Us was recorded with producer and renowned guitarist BJ Baartmans.

MUSIC MAKER, Harry de Jong
“As a singer Nabbe knows how to direct every, well chosen word with his distinct and sometimes gravelly voice, as a composer he writes songs with a bottomless melancholy. [..] In The Garden hasn’t got a single weak song. […] This is not just a very good album. One should bow for his outstanding collection of songs and take one’s hat off.”
LUST FOR LIFE, Chris van Oostrom
“Pieter Nabbe did place striking, emotional songs on the record and surrounded himself with a bunch of good musicians who provide his songs with provocative/ stimulating accents”.
DE KRENTEN UIT DE POP, Erwin Zijleman
