Video Premiere: Soda Blonde self-isolate in 'June'

"I won't even cry thinking 'bout the outside". So opens 'June', the brand new single from Dublin alt pop four-piece Soda Blonde.

Created entirely in isolation, the video sees the quartet go about their daily routines with their partners, or alone. In the chaos of it all, amidst bottles of wine, plates of pasta and heaps of recording equipment, there's a strange order. 'June' a snapshot of the cultivated mess of this life in its current state: full of humour, resilience, rage and connectivity.

I've been thinking a lot about touch deprivation in my own isolation. How deeply we took for granted the simplest form of connection we have to one another, until we lost it. Although born out of being forcibly cut off from the world, at its heart 'June' is about maintaining that sense memory of touch.

"It's not easy to work in isolation," singer Faye O'Rourke writes of the recording process. "But wholeheartedly, I think it has deepened our connection and pushed the boundaries of how and why we create anything at all. We’ve been through so much as a band. It’s just another chapter added to our incredible story as colleagues and as a family."

isolation - content, the group's sophomore EP, will be available from tomorrow on Bandcamp. Watch the video for 'June' below.
