S Stuck inside? Check out the best music from June SOUND to help you stay cool

June has been huge for new music. Lorde has officially resurfaced (I’ve heard that means seven extra weeks of summer) with her latest hit, “Solar Power,” showing the New Zealand pop sensation stepping in new directions on her upcoming album of the same name. Tyler, The Creator, is back with “Call Me If You Get Lost,” where the rapper revives the nostalgia of a DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz mixtape—only this is an album, and it’s definitely Tyler’s vision from top to bottom as he channels the “In My Mind” era of Pharrell. Japanese Breakfast also dropped a contender for album of the year with “Jubilee,” a record that is both a grand and poppy experience, where Michelle Zauner hones in on joy and colorful feeling.

June was also the real start of more live music emerging around town, along with tour announcements from plenty of traveling guests that will make their way to Central Oregon. It’s exciting to see shows popping up all over again (Shakey Graves at The Athletic Club, anyone?) and to know that our local musicians finally have the chance to play the gigs we’ve all been missing. And with capacity and mask restrictions lifting at the end of June, there will only be more happenings on the music front.

For now, while we all push through this heatwave and remain locked in the AC (if you have any, that is) here are some other highlights in music from June you can throw on the home playlist.

Dreaming Slow EP - Signal Bath x Witch Eyes

Bend producers/musicians Shane Thomas (Signal Bath) and Colten Tyler Williams (Witch Eyes) joined forces this month for a collab EP that stays true to its name, with dreamy beats that are perfect for the summer. The project is a lo-fi approach to electronic music, utilizing drums and bass in sweet arrangements. This is a good tape to unwind to if you’re looking to declutter your mind and to unwind to if you’re looking to declutter your mind and just enjoy the moment.

“Earth to Stupid” - Lupine The latest song from Bend’s Ella Peterson is all about the butterflies that come when you’re crushing on somethe butterflies that come when you’re crushing on someone, and as she said over email, the track came “just in time for Pride!” The overall feel of the song is bright and summery. It speaks to trusting your heart and diving into the love that is right for you. Courtesy Lupine “Don’t pretend that it doesn’t make your heart pound. ‘Cause when she says my name like it’s the very first time, it’s my favorite sound,” sings Peterson.

REGIONAL GEM

“Strawberries and Cream” - Picante

This soulful cut released by Portland duo Picante (Mia Lentz, Zac Bron) will no-doubt be tugging at your heartstrings. “Strawberries and Cream” is a smooth and mellow song that features a brilliant performance by José Guadalupe Flores on saxophone, along with the vocals of Lentz who croons about that moment when one gets bit by the love bug. The single is for the duo’s upcoming LP titled “Up All Night.” While a different pace than many of their past releases, “Strawberries and Cream” is a welcome and successful switch-up. Overall, it’s a great song that is as lush and sweet as the dessert it’s named after.

S Artist Fact Sheet: Josephine Antoinette

The Portland crooner heads to The Suttle Lodge for a Big Lawn Monday

By Isaac Biehl

The last Fact Sheet I put together about a visiting act was in December of 2019 for an Andrew Marlin show that eventually would get canceled. That’s way too long. But now, bands and artists are beginning to make their way back through Central Oregon, lining up tour dates as live music starts to awaken.

On July 5, The Suttle Lodge will host Josephine Antoinette as part of its free Big Lawn Series that will continue to run on Mondays throughout the summer, all the way to Sept. 6. Antoinette is a Northwest native who has polished her voice by singing with area favorites including LaRhonda Steele and Sonny Hess. Her stylings of R&B, soul, jazz and blues will be a perfect pairing with the backdrop of Suttle Lake. This is a show that will blow you away with vocal talent and make for one smooth summer night.

Learn more about Antoinette in the Fact Sheet below.

FACT SHEETBAND Where she’s From: Antoinette is a Portland native who grew up studying and learning with some of the city’s brightest voices such as Margaret Linn (who sang with Curtis Salgado), then studying classical voice under Thomas R. Blaylock (founder of the Northwest Institute of Voice and the Oregon Vocal Arts Ensemble). What’s to Like: She possesses one of those voices that was born to share with the world. It carries a warmth that will instantly bring you to a place of comfort and wonderment; Antoinette sounds like some of the greats from the biggest days of soul music. But her writing is what makes Antoinette a modern-soul star. She’s able to fit important topics and commentary on today’s world in her songs while still making them enjoyable to groove along to. Songs to Start With: While Antoinette doesn’t have a ton of solo tunes out on services just yet, her first few releases are well worth the listen. Check out “It’s Enough,” “Gray Waste” and “You Rub Me the Wrong Way” on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Soundcloud or Spotify. For fans of: Gladys Knight, Arlo Parks, Norah Jones, Hiatus KaiyoteRandom Internet Dig Fact: Antoinette earned degrees in both political science and journalism, and was also a newspaper reporter at one time.
