June The Destroyer is an art-pop duo from Toronto, formed in 2021. They play a minimalist style made of voices, guitar, and spare atmospherics. June’s music strikes at the point between soft quiet and sharp tumult; it is the soundtrack for the afterglow. At every turn, it is a reminder of the magnificence and fire of deep connection, even when faced with anxieties and darkness beyond our paradises. June’s lyrical social commentary explores intimacy structures, expectations, traditions, and facing the strange present and the uncertain future, together. June’s low-lit, moody live performance invites the audience into their intimate world with a sharp eye and a unique elegance all their own.
