Since debuting with the widely praised single, "The City," New York-based singer-songwriter June McDoom has been on a magical and memorable journey. Releasing two EPs, touring with Nick Hakim, Brittany Howard and alt-J, and appearing on Sub Pop's Margo Guryan tribute album, June McDoom has been in a constant state of forward motion. Now, for the first time, McDoom collects all of her singles and EPs to date onto one CD.June McDoom is a collection of songs that collage virtually everything important to McDoom. Growing up in South Florida in a Jamaican household, she was raised around reggae music, which echoed throughout every room of her childhood home. Later, she discovered and nourished her own deep love for folk music and songwriting of the 1960's and 70's. While studying in NYC for a degree in Jazz Performance, her musical palette expanded to include the more intricate influences of jazz and early soul. Realizing that her favorite vintage folk music lacked artists with similar identities as her own, it became increasingly important for McDoom to carve a unique musical space - to push folk music towards a new and different audience. Following the release of her debut single, "The City" - mixed by Gabe Wax (Soccer Mommy, Spoon) - June McDoom was eager to take the reins on the production of her debut EP. Recorded and mixed entirely from home with collaborator Evan Wright, McDoom found herself enthralled with the analog recording process, which began a textural exploration that defines this record. It is steeped in self-discovery, and self-acceptance. It's magic lies in it's ability to weave the influences of such seemingly disparate icons as Joan Baez, The Delfonics and Alton Ellis into a new, seamlessly crafted tapestry.
