Junii's 'Chameleon' EP released January 2017 to me is a standout for its sustained emotional intensity and heartbreaking beauty; July 2017's Cloudscape is on the one hand the complete opposite in its sublime stillness; and on the other, next-level in terms of scope and sophistication. More than a cloudscape- this is an entire art gallery in the sky.

Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2022
This DC shoegaze group work like fog, bringing in ephemeral melodic layers that swirl together to become something surprisingly heavy. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2018
