Junerise (SXSW)

4.3

Discover Junerise, the captivating heartland dream pop project from Austin-based singer-songwriter June Bennion (they/them), blending Bruce Springsteen’s storytelling heart with Cocteau Twins’ ethereal vibes and a touch of The Cure’s dance energy!

Born from June’s experiences as a closeted queer artist in Utah’s Mormon mountains, Junerise paints vivid tales of isolation, wonder, and resilience under fading sunset skies. This long-brewing project delivers folk-tinged dream pop that’s surprisingly danceable, celebrating life’s fleeting beauty with singles like “Rising Sun”—a beacon of hope for trans youth dreaming of brighter horizons.

Austin transplant channeling James Taylor’s narrative depth and Brian Eno’s dreamy gradients.
