Nick & June float in a glittering fog of trilling synthesizers, gentle beat and drum pulses and vibrating organ sounds.
Embedded in dark reverb guitars, the bitter-sweet paired voices of Suzie-Lou Kraft and Nick Wolf lead through euphorically staged restraint and spun ramifications of thought. An idiosyncratic, abstract sound emerges, combining lonely, beautiful indie folk à la Bon Iver, Velvet Underground or Sharon Van Etten, the dream pop of Beach House and Lana Del Rey with alternative rock by The National, St. Vincent or Mazzy Star.
Not least during their long stay in the USA, including album production with Grammy-winning producer Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Stars, Sharon Van Etten, among others), Nick & June further developed their sound, ideas and aesthetics. It becomes cinematic and atmospheric. Sometimes large-scale, sometimes lo-fi. Coarse-grained and warmly produced. Expansive, with plenty of room for enchanting melodies and the harmoniously merging voices of the two - with pictorial lyrics that set the head cinema in motion. The new album, which will also feature friends, companions and idols such as The Antlers, Russian Red, Owen Pallett (Arcade Fire) and Thomas Bartlett (Sufjan Stevens, St. Vincent), is still under lock and key and is currently being finalized.
