Sun June share the double singles, "Easy Violence" and "John Prine"

Last month Sun June announced Bad Dream Jaguar with its lead single, "Get Energy". Today they return with the brand new singles, "Easy Violence" and "Jon prine".

“‘Easy Violence’ is about the fears you become attached to and the mistakes you try to outrun... The song started out as a demo we recorded at home. We liked the ‘voice memos’ feel and we ended up keeping the drum machine, guitars, synths, and the first-take vocals. We fleshed out the rest with the band in Dan Duszynski’s studio," the band explains.

"For the video we got our friend Lauren Wilde to turn Laura into a jaguar for a staged photo shoot. It was fun to capture Laura begrudgingly surrender to a marketing campaign. The image of her driving through LA traffic alone with her makeup still on made us laugh — a hangover of self promotion.”

“‘John Prine’ is about appreciating something for the first time after it’s already over, and struggling to let it go," they continue. "It’s also a shout out to my father who loves to say, ‘I’m not asleep, I’m just resting my eyes.’ The song was recorded in North Carolina by Alli Rogers and features Justin Morris (Sluice, Fust) on pedal steel."

"When Dan Duszynski mixed it he morphed the pedal steel into something more haunting and more ghostly (and more sleepy). We wanted the video to capture the feeling of coming down after a long night or a short visit with someone you miss, the kind of daze that's a mix of longing and appreciation. I am not a morning person, but I really wish I were.”
