June And The Well's latest album, Gudiya, is a beautiful and haunting collection of songs that showcase the band's unique blend of folk, blues, and indie rock. From the opening track "Honey," with its gentle acoustic guitar and June's soulful vocals, to the closing track "Lonely Road," which features a haunting cello solo, Gudiya is a mesmerizing journey through a world of love, loss, and longing.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Gudiya," a song that tells the story of a young girl who is forced to marry at a young age and the struggles she faces in her new life. June's emotive vocals are perfectly complemented by the band's lush instrumentation, which includes a mournful violin and a driving drumbeat.
Another highlight is "Blackbird," a song that showcases June's powerful voice and the band's skillful use of dynamics. The song starts off quietly, with just June's voice and a simple guitar riff, before building to a powerful crescendo, with the addition of a full band and a soaring chorus.
