Twelve Days in June look back on a lost friendship with ‘Dear Catherine’

Twelve Days in June revisit the sound and sentiment of 90s alternative rock on their latest single ‘Dear Catherine’.

Blending heavier guitar passages with hazier, dreamlike textures, the track sits between grunge and shoegaze while retaining the melodic focus at the heart of the project. It is a combination that fits the band’s own description of themselves as the kind of group Buffy the Vampire Slayer might have stumbled across performing at The Bronze.

Behind that nostalgic sound is an equally reflective story. ‘Dear Catherine’ looks back at a friendship between two people who were once inseparable before gradually drifting into separate lives. Throughout, the song considers the quieter experience of simply losing touch with somebody who once played an important role in your life.

With ‘Dear Catherine’, Twelve Days in June turn that lingering curiosity into a wistful combination of muscular alternative rock and atmospheric guitars.
