East of June – a trio composed of vocalist Emily Rath, guitarist Kyle Mortensen and former Incubus bassist Dirk Lance – have a sound that blends whimsical electronica with a distinctly late '70s/early '80s production style. The result: enveloping arrangements with melodies that'll stick in your head for days after listening.
Rebel – the band's first single, released in 2019 – highlights this musical style brilliantly. It's a four-minute mid-tempo track featuring an electronically influenced four-to-the-floor beat, synth arpeggios and a pretty shredding guitar solo, the latter of which guitarist Kyle Mortensen joins us today to take you through.
