"Opening track ‘Battle Ground’ is an exploration of the history of consequence and responsibility seen through the microcosm of the family unit – it’s plaintive delivery and funereal pace bely a quiet celebration of the cosy simplicity of the homestead, faults and all. As Cowman moves, in the final verse, toward the ironies of American history it becomes evident that this is a talent to reckon with – every single line is mesmeric but none more so than it’s closing mantra ‘We’re connected’. It’s stunning."
-Rock Louder -UK Nov, 2007

"Au fil des ans, Olympia a supplanté San Francisco comme capitale libertaire et alternative de la contre-culture West Coast... On imagine volontiers June Madrona suivre le même chemin tortueux (son précédent album s’appelait A Long & Ugly Road) que celui emprunté par Elliott Smith ou Sufjan Stevens – deux mentors de ce folk frêle mais ambitieux –, des tréfonds de l’underground associatif aux BO prestigieuses, tant sa musique impose avec fermeté ses humeurs contradictoires. Car ici, le dialogue entre mélancolie et euphorie, entre sous-bois ombrageux et terrasses ensoleillées est fécond et naturel, offrant à ce songwriting fin une étonnante et trop rare partie de montagnes russes. Car le spleen n’est pas ici un marigot où se noyer, mais une mare où faire des bombes, entre amis venus les mains pleines de rêves éveillés (harpe, violoncelle, clochettes, banjo…). Et même si les textes restent poignants ou même flippants (Bedroom Faeries, My Secret Father), même s’ils jouent souvent avec une nostalgie sépia (à l’image de la pochette), ce folk semble, lui, sorti de ce chaos : apaisé et lumineux, il a l’air hébété et béat de celui sorti indemne du carnage."
les inrockuptibles- march 08


"June Madrona sing modern day campfire songs. The crackle of the flames and the sweet smell of smores is nearly palpable in these demos from their upcoming record on Bicycle."
