Synopsis

Album Description
Singer-songwriter seems too common a term to apply to Sarah June, however accurate it may be. Singer-songwriter she is, but the songs she writes and sings are both more beautiful and more haunting than the average fare. There is an uncommon ghostly aire to her album. Like the smell of flowers in a empty and abandoned house where sunlight comes shining through dusty window panes. Perfectly sparse and lonesome, these songs come from the edges of dreamland. 10 original compositions accompanied by 2 well-chosen covers (Prince's When Doves Cry and a stunning version of Elvis'I Can't Help Falling in Love with You).
 

CD Reviews

Great dream-pop album!
Steeltoe Princess | San Francisco, CA | 11/07/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"lullabies filled with ghosts and strange stories. a must-have addition to any shoegaze, dream pop, or indie album collection!"
PJ Harvey and Cranes lovers will adore this album!

"This album is made up of beautiful vignettes - 3-4 minute songs that are a mix of a soothing lullaby and an old phonographs strange and haunting sound. Beautiful from start to finish. I love this CD."
A dreamy, ethereal, indie essential.

"this is a stellar debut album. reminiscent of the cranes or cocteau twins, this album brings you into the edges of dreamland. FIVE STARS!"
