About Sun June
The five members of Sun June spent their early years spread out across the United States, from the boonies of the Hudson Valley to the sprawling outskirts of LA. The pair of songwriters, Laura Colwell and Stephen Salisbury, met in Austin, TX while working on Terrence Malick’s ‘Song to Song’. They were immediately taken by the city’s bustling small clubs and honky-tonk scene, and the fact that there was always an instrument within reach, always someone to play alongside.
Colwell and Salisbury formed Sun June alongside Michael Bain on lead guitar, Sarah Schultz on drums, and Justin Harris on bass and quickly recorded their debut album ‘Years’. The live to tape LP was released via the city’s esteemed Keeled Scales label in 2018. The band coined the term ‘regret pop’ to describe the music they made. Though somewhat tongue in cheek, it made perfect sense - the gentle sway of their country leaning pop songs seeped in melancholy, as if each subtle turn of phrase was always grasping for something just out of reach.
The band went on to release their sophomore album ‘Somewhere’ via the Boston indie label Run For Cover in 2021 and an expanded version in 2022. ‘Somewhere’ showcases a gentle but pronounced maturation of Sun June’s sound, a second record full of quiet revelation, eleven songs that bristle with love and longing. It finds a band at the height of their collective potency, a marked stride forward from the band that created that debut record, but also one that once again is able to transport the listener into a fascinating new landscape, one that lies somewhere between the town and the city, between the head and the heart; neither here nor there, but certainly somewhere.
The band is currently working on their third record.
