Junerise is the folk-tinged dreampop project of Austin-based, Utah-transplant singer-songwriter June Bennion, known simply as June (They/Them).

Looking ever skyward, June channels influences from the grounding story-centric songwriting chops of James Taylor and Bruce Springsteen to the ethereal gradient-scapes of The Cocteau Twins and Brian Eno with a dash of The Cure's dance-forward sensibilities. Their songwriting comes from a well of lived experiences growing up as a closeted queer person in the god-fearing Mormon mountain states.

June tackles feelings of isolation, wonder, and perseverance against the odds set against a sunset sky, quickly fading out of view as each song flows from scene to scene as each story is told. Junerise is a long incubated project which at times is downright danceable while also reveling in the beautiful transience of each passing moment.
