California native Juli Lydell founded June Swoon in Los Angeles in 2018. Her debut record, This Town Could Be Big Enough for the Both of Us, is a mosaic of bedroom demos and borrowed studios, with digital orchestras and fuzzed out guitar swirling around a core of romantic fatigue. Her sophomore record, A House With Windows Open, is a study in post-punk and experimental folk, offering meditations on control, religious trauma, and the malaise of modern life. In January 2026, she self-released the Big Truck EP, which charted for 11 weeks on Alt-Country, Alternative, and independent radio.

But it’s in her live performances that June Swoon fully comes alive. While her recordings are intimate and layered, June Swoon's live shows are a different kind of experience: lively, unpredictable, and full of energy. June and her band turn emotionally rich songs into powerful, high-energy performances that keep audiences engaged and entertained. The contrast between her delicate studio work and her dynamic stage presence has become a defining feature of the June Swoon project. Whether she’s backed by a full band or playing a stripped-down set, her voice has a way of holding the room in stillness one moment and igniting it the next, all with self-deprecating humor that disarms anyone in earshot. Whether you’re experiencing her recordings or witnessing her on stage, June Swoon is a force of nature.
