Folk-pop duo Dear June have a new EP due out in August and were recently nominated them in our best-of New England poll, so now’s a great time to get caught up on the pair. Their previous Fences EP nailed down the fundamentals crucial to solid songwriting. The project hangs it hat on understated multi-instrumental arrangements, simple melodies and most notably the harmonization of Liz Ziebarth’s and Justin Kelley’s voices. The two sing together for long stretches across the LP, and form a sum that’s greater than its (already great) parts. It’s the emotional and romantic quality of their male and female voices combined that adds what either of their voices can’t contribute individually. We’re excited for their Come Around EP due out 8/18, don’t miss the release party that same night at The Red Room Cafe on, before they go on tour. —Henry Solotaroff-Webber
