Sun June have announced Bad Dream Jaguar, their new album coming on October 20 via Run For Cover. It follows their 2021 LP Somewhere and its expanded edition from 2022. Vocalist Laura Colwell and guitarist Stephen Salisbury cowrote the album 1300 miles apart while navigating their new long-distance relationship, and it was recorded over several sessions at guitarist, synth player, and producer Dan Duszynski’s Dandy Sounds studio. Check out the artwork and tracklist below.
“Get Enough” is the dreamy, kaleidoscopic lead single off of Bad Dream Jaguar. “‘Get Enough’ is about spring-time mania, justifying delusions, and losing it but still loving it (Macca forever). It was written when Laura and Stephen were bouncing back and forth between Texas and North Carolina, each unsure of where life was headed,” the band shared. The track comes with a “Texas kitsch”-inspired music video. Check it out below.
Sun June have also announced a fall tour with Runnner (with whom they collaborated on “Colors”) and continuing in early 2024 supporting Slaughter Beach, Dog. It includes two NYC shows: November 4 at Mercury Lounge and November 5 at Baby’s All Right. All dates below.
