april june – “starstruck”

“starstruck” is the latest from Madrid artist april june – ironically from their EP released in May. Piano and acoustic guitar mesh together well with the lyrics that take on a darker tone (both melodically and lyrically) as it pays homage to the 1993 film “True Romance.” Specifically:
“Amidst the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you’re so cool, you’re so cool, you’re so cool.”
If you’ve been following along and have noticed a few bands we’ve written about previously, Makeout City or Bathe Alone, you would find a lot to enjoy with april june.
You can hear the track on Spotify or down below courtesy of Soundcloud.
