Sounds LikeSarah June is a singer-songwriter from Detroit. She has been singing and playing piano and guitar since childhood. In high school she began writing songs inspired by the haunting imagery of the industrial wasteland she was surrounded by. When she was 18 she began to perform in Chicago and Detroit, and put together an EP called “three-quarter view” in 2001. Currently she lives in San Francisco. Still inspired by bleak urban landscapes, and the loneliness that lurks within us all, she spent this past year writing songs that she compiled into her debut album: "This Is My Letter To The World". She recorded and edited all of the songs alone in her apartment, being careful preserve the sincere and delicate sound-quality of the original recordings.

Press:


"Raised in Detroit and now living in San Francisco, Sarah June is an acclaimed singer-songwriter whose new album is a lovely, intimate, poetic meditation. Her wistful, imagistic lyrics show the influence of Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath, and the simple acoustic backing is perfect for a quiet afternoon alone. She also reinterprets Prince's "When Doves Cry" and Elvis' "I Can't Help Falling In Love with You" to stunning effect." "...She has one of those haunting voices. The album actually reminds me of The Cranes or maybe Mazzy Star. The Cranes were a sort of gothy dream pop band in the 90s. I fell in love with them as well. The music was dark but the vocalist had this angelic childlike voice. Sarah June has this same thing going on, so let me rename the genre dark dream pop folk. I have only had the album in my possession for 2 days now but I have already listened to it a bunch of times." ~Amoeba Music

. . .

"Innocence and experience are not mutually exclusive in Sarah June's "Letter", a beauty from somedarkholler.com. Her voice is as delicate as spun sugar and she employs luminous, space-filling echoes around both vocals and acoustic guitar, but in her songs there is still a detectable texture of urbane grit. Hers is an open wisdom, wiped clean of bitterness but simply honest, unshaken by fear of neither loneliness nor intimacy; this album will wear well. The album closes with a cover of "When Doves Cry" that replaces the sweat of the original with a slower heat and subtler perfume." (Carolee) ~Gothic Beauty Magazine (issue 28)
. . .

"Just recently Sarah June released her debut on Timothy Renner’s label Hand/Eye on which the artist, who was born in Detroit and now lives in San Francisco, sings slightly melancholic songs with a voice that is girl-like (or fairytale-like?) in the truest sense of the word – most of the time only accompanied by her guitar. The album “This Is My Letter To The World”, which was basically recorded in her bedroom, seems to be a record for an autumn that is haunted by strange creatures." ~Black Magazine (blackmagazin.com)
. . .

"Dark gothy folk from the great city of San Francisco. This girl has a very unique beautiful voice that will make you cry. I Love this record!" ~ Brad - Amoeba, Hollywood
. . .

"Sarah June This Is My Letter to the World (Hand/Eye) This is just wonderful. A dozen darkly dreamy nocturnal lullabies by this girlishly sweet-voiced and slightly eerie singer/songwriter with a knack for reaching deep into the mystic. Fragile, brilliant, eccentric and entrancing. A little Twin Peaks around the edges with a slightly Joanna Newsom-like sort of magical faerie fey aura hovering somewhere between Rose McDowall and Julee Cruise on the edge of a vast dark abyss. Includes utterly gorgeous covers of I Can't Help Falling In Love and Prince's When Dove's Cry in addition to her ten great original compositions, all of which would ideal for sleepwalking to any night of the week." ~Dream Magazine

. . .

"Perfectly sparse and lonesome, these songs come from the edges of dreamland"~Hand·Eye Records

. . .

"The music took me by surprise as it was nothing like other bands/artists that had contacted me, but I was also enchanted by the fragile and dreamy sound. Her songs are bleak, heartbreaking & lonely sounding, as if she is a sad ghost girl desperate for love. Her vocals are like those of a little girl; it is haunting but I cannot seem to stop listening."~ Soul Drift Music
. . .

"Sounds like: a Victorian tea party in an abandoned attic"~Odpeacock.com
. . .

"The music in itself it is rather simple in its making, an acoustic guitar and the female voice with rather minimal keyboard accompaniments that adds a dreamlike atmosphere, surreal and mysterious while the power of the music captivates the listener not by force but by some sort of strange seduction and gentle invitation. The work centres the compositions in the delicate flow of the voice, which is utterly feminine in sonority, like the kind of singing a fairy could do while in loneliness and melancholy. The guitar serves as the transport for the singing and settles quietly and gently in the whispering cadence of the voice, strolling smoothly and delicately and pronounced only by some minimal keyboards arrangements that spontaneously appear."~Heathen Harvest

A Reverie with you in it
is one the Lord did make
to find me a better way
to vision peace in my troubled sky of terrible youth.

Remember that no soul ever knew beauty
Unless it first knew sorrow and it shall never know sorrow
Unless it first loved happieness.
For no truth have I known in all my selfish years 
is quite like that truth that is your child hewn voice

silouette of sacred chance
catalyst poetic circles
souls passing every day
an embrace a glance or 
deeper lingers of a future
shimmer highlights of greatness
to melodic notes of wisdom.
the precipice of what could be
looking in at the reflection
a mirror image of a path
that could be my own intention
did i will you into being?
i knew something was awaiting.
all the questions need no answer
all the answers have been questioned.
subtle traces; playful reasons
in avoidance of some treason
guarded heart of autumn ghosts
shattered by your heartfelt notes
many inconspicuous thoughts
beneath sensual undertones
dancing laughing to the chords
melodies yet left to unfold.
caught off guard by sweet caress
so not ready to undress ask if i'm a
million bucks when you say that i'm a gem
don't need garments gold or silver
for the treasures most sought after
only friendship love and kisses 
can unlock the ever after.

I absolutely love the new percussion additions to "Crossbones". You always seem to have a way of taking something Perfect and making it Better!! I am so excited about the January release date of "In Black Robes". I am ready to pre-order as soon as you post a place and way to do it :) Your first album is so amazing and means the world to me. From everything that I have listened to "In Black Robes" will be even better. How do you do it? Some sort of magic right? However you do it, it turns into wonderful, beautiful, amazing music. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift and tremendous talent with me and the World. I love it with all of my heart and soul.

Soulful and beat down, beaten in.
Limbs missing parts unaccounted-for.

Separated from use and wibbly-wobbly with all wrong angles

Only the color is right.
