Juno Dunes and Modern Bodies

Overview

Juno Dunes

Juno Dunes is the indie-pop project of New Orleans-based musician Connor James Reever. Blending coastal cool with Southern charm, their sound lands somewhere between tropical shoegaze and yacht rock with a bit of slacker swagger.

The debut album Everybody’s Talkin’ dropped in 2023, full of dreamy pedal steel, breezy rhythms, and tracks like “Holiday” and “Dissolve” that feel like a sunset drive with the windows down. Whether live on stage or spinning on vinyl, Juno Dunes brings a laid-back, melodic warmth that sticks with you.

Modern Bodies

Modern Bodies is a fuzzed-out rock band that got its start in a basement in Tupelo, Mississippi back in 2019. Since then, they’ve been carving out a sound that blends hazy psychedelia, noisy pop, and a touch of garage rock grit.

They started off releasing lo-fi singles on their own label, Gun Club, before teaming up with Earth Libraries in 2023. Their debut self-titled EP dropped in April 2024, full of echo-drenched vocals, crunchy guitars, and swirling textures. Songs like “Drowned Out” and “New Way Out” show off their knack for mixing dreamy noise with punchy hooks.
