Swaying between the punchiness of modern rock and the nostalgic tones of ’90s alternative, June Body‘s rawness and forthright lyrical delivery throws back to the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and The Weakerthans. “Agree to Stop” from their new album, Last Everythings, is about songwriter Connor James’ seven-year relationship coming to an end. Even though he and his partner were both still in love with each other, there was this pervasive feeling of understanding that the end was what was right for both of them. It was such a difficult experience to have to agree that they’d be better apart.
“I was constantly imagining the end of my relationship leading up to it actually happening,” says songwriter Connor James. “I had this idea of ‘fast-forwarding a tape’ as spoiling the events that would occur on the night of a breakup. It was almost as if I was numbed to the emotions of that night because I had been manifesting and visualizing it for so long.”
