"Raised in Detroit and now living in San Francisco, Sarah June is an acclaimed singer-songwriter whose new album is a lovely, intimate, poetic meditation. Her wistful, imagistic lyrics show the influence of Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath, and the simple acoustic backing is perfect for a quiet afternoon alone. She also reinterprets Prince's "When Doves Cry" and Elvis' "I Can't Help Falling In Love with You" to stunning effect." ~Amoeba Music
. . .
"Sarah June This Is My Letter to the World (Hand/Eye) This is just wonderful. A dozen darkly dreamy nocturnal lullabies by this girlishly sweet-voiced and slightly eerie singer/songwriter with a knack for reaching deep into the mystic. Fragile, brilliant, eccentric and entrancing. A little Twin Peaks around the edges with a slightly Joanna Newsom-like sort of magical faerie fey aura hovering somewhere between Rose McDowall and Julee Cruise on the edge of a vast dark abyss. Includes utterly gorgeous covers of I Can't Help Falling In Love and Prince's When Dove's Cry in addition to her ten great original compositions, all of which would ideal for sleepwalking to any night of the week." ~Dream Magazine

"Perfectly sparse and lonesome, these songs come from the edges of dreamland"~Hand·Eye Records
