Somewhere

The indie pop group’s second album is filled with longing for vanished times and spaces. It explores what happens when daydreaming becomes both playground and prison.

Sun June allow time to stand still on the beautifully meditative Somewhere

It’s their combination of bright-eyed optimism and reserved melancholy that make ‘Somewhere’ the record it is.

With the feather-light vocals, sustained keyboard hum, and unadorned kick drum that open Somewhere, Sun June seem to pick up right where their stark and gentle 2018 debut, Years, left off.

The fact that Laura Colwell, leader of Austin’s Sun June, name drops Patti Smith and Stevie Nicks, and throws in a sideways reference to Neil Young’s “Unknown Legend,” all in Somewhere’s first song, could lead one to believe this sophomore effort could be a mixed up affair.
