Sun June's third album shows artful restraint on songs that are sometimes profound. Read our review of 'Bad Dream Jaguar.'
Sometimes adulthood doesn’t work out quite the way you thought it would. There are moments when things that once seemed so clear start to look blurry, and what you took for granted feels less settled. Expectations change and priorities shift in a way that can rearrange our lives. Sun June’s latest is a soundtrack for those occasions.is a collection of songs threading their way through the uncertainty.
It’s a subtle album, built around gentle, dream-like musical arrangements that belie the tougher sentiments underpinning these songs. The narrators here are often trying to figure out where they stand, in relation to a significant other, themselves, the past, the future. “You were searching for a reason to be mad / Babe, I got plenty of them,” Colwell sings on “Mixed Bag,” her soft voice wrapped in layers of guitar, ghostly backing vocals and a piano vamp that lands just so between lyrics.
Befitting an album that took shape around a long-distance relationship, there’s a lot of road imagery on. Colwell sings about long drives and headlights in the distance, and the lyrics often play like the reveries that blossom between the highway lines on road trips. She lets her mind wander through remembered scenes and settings that have the feel of creased snapshots she found tucked away in the glove compartment.
Gleaming electric guitar licks over a more muted rhythm part on “Sage” enhance the late-night vibe, though not every song has such a somber sensibility. A foreboding synthesizer sound lurking amid the guitars of “Easy Violence” adds a rougher texture, while the hook on “Get Enough” is bouncy in a way that’s understated, and all the more alluring for it. That’s true ofas a whole: Sun June’s music unfolds with artful restraint to reveal, at its best, a core that is quietly profound.
