Would That It Were a Fortress review: June Jones EP is a chrysalis
[]
ArtsHub Australia
A trans musician who has spoken about her ADHD diagnosis, Jones’ music is intensely personal, the lyrics forensic, interrogating gender identity, mental health, disability, a childhood of trauma, how creativity works and what healing might look like.
When it comes to music, though, Jones seems able to focus.
She is a one-stop powerhouse, writing, recording, producing, mixing and releasing her latest LP, Would That It Were a Fortress.
Backed by Cure-like synths, Jones’ voice is seductive but has clarity; she wants to be heard.
The helicopter-whir of beats brings the listener aloft to think about fantasy and the devastation when it plummets.
