Note from Spring 2026 from Logan -

"June 15" is the first single off of my 2026 album "The Long Way Home". This track explores one calendar year of my life as a child, June 15th 2007 - June 15th 2008. From an early age, trauma was a normal part of my life. Although most of the memories I recall on this song are joyful memories, there was a constant theme about my upbringing: Something bad was always about to happen. On "June 15" I think back to how great my life was during the summer of 2008, only to have another tragedy tear it apart.

The beat I made for this song is heavily inspired by Token's latest album "I'm Not Supposed To Be Here". The intro of this track starts out with a detuned vocal sample that I pitched down and slowed down. I also added three separate classical flute samples that are just slightly pitched up, combining these with the pitched down, detuned vocals, it creates an uneasy feeling for the listener right off the bat. Then we drop into the first verse, which is dominated by a heavy synth-electric bass that is accompanied by grunge drums and a singular cello sample. As we are thrust into the hook, the uneasiness of the entire instrumental continues with a synth sample that I completely detuned and chopped. Again this contrasts with the classical flutes. The second verse feels a bit more optimistic thanks to a up-tempo string sample that you can just ever so slightly hear underneath the bass.

I hope that you enjoy this track as much as I do, this album has been so therapeutic for me to make.
