June (www.absolutepunk.net/june) has released a press release regarding the recording of their sophmore album, Make It Blur, which can be read below.
Chicago’s highly acclaimed power-pop band June will soon enter the studio to record the follow-up to the smashing debut, If You Speak Any Faster. The sophomore release, to be called Make It Blur, will be produced by Marc McClusky (Hit The Lights, Scenes from a Movie, Powerspace).
It’s been a non-stop road trip for June since If You Speak Any Faster was released almost two years ago. In that time, they have shared bills with the likes of 30 Seconds to Mars, The Academy is, The Format, Motion City Soundtrack, Anberlin, Bayside, Hawthorne Heights, Emery and The Juliana Theory—not to mention a spot on the 2006 Warped Tour.
With around 50,000 debut albums sold and all that touring experience under their belts, June enters the studio with a specific focus, ironically named Make It Blur. Drummer Mark Sutor said of the album title: "The idea was that like everything else in life, as you're growing up certain things become clearer to you, things begin to make more sense as time moves on. How you grow in life, relationships, and your surroundings... you begin to understand why things happen. We wanted to find a unique way of putting that across for the new record. All of the songs are a reflection of this idea that really means a lot to us. The record is a cohesive effort rather than just 12 tracks on a record."
One track has already been given an exclusive sneak premiere. The song, “Sight For Sore Eyes,” can only be heard on Victory Records’ state-of-the-art media player, VictorStream (www.victoryrecords.com/victorstream).
The band expects to finish recording in May, with a summer release in the works.
