Mars by Hello June

"The pathos of Hello June is also in part due to its nostalgic glow. Hello June respectfully recalls your favorite indie rock records, but it’s simultaneously fresh as can be. The pristine production value gives it a modern feel, but not much else on Hello June screams 2018, which is one reason it’s so enjoyable. The band conjures Yo La Tengo’s vast riffs while Rudy echoes Lucinda Williams’ husky drawl. One area where her voice fully takes the reins is on “Candy Rain,” which sounds exactly as you might expect—like a sugar shower. Layers of grainy guitar cascade to the song’s fluorescent floor as Rudy’s layered vocals echo throughout. Who knew indie rock could be so sweet?"
-Ellen Johnson (Paste Magazine)

"Mars seems hopeful—optimistic in a way that is neither saccharine nor cloying. Rudy does not ignore suffering in her songwriting, but, in “Mars,” she is lifted by a resilient buoyancy that is as contagious as it is sincere."
-Josh Beane (HTN Magazine)

Lyrics

----------------------------
As soon as you find out
As soon as you hear
That there's life up on Mars
That there's more out there
I'll catch a plane
Or I'll walk there

I would fill all your jars with honey
Carry bees into the new country
And I would buy you water
In some arbitrary odd number

As soon as they find out
As soon as they hear
That there's so much more than we know
That there's so much more to fear
Oh, I'll catch a plane
Or I will walk there
