This power-packed album brings back the beloved sounds of 90s rock infused with modern flair
In the quiet yet artistically vibrant town of Schenectady, NY, 90’s rock finds its revival through the electrifying sounds of Twelve Days in June. The band is taking listeners on a nostalgic journey with their latest 13-track album, ‘Hiraeth’.
More than just a collection of songs, this album is a heartfelt tribute to an era where the chords of alternative rock and grunge were soaked in raw emotion and authenticity. Producing a fresh palette that reflects these influences is Ben Hirschfield, who has previously crafted sounds for the likes of Present, The Story So Far, and Against Me!
Dave Hulegaard, the mastermind behind Twelve Days in June, opens his heart about his motivations with the band, recalling the changes in the rock scene post-Nirvana which left him longing for the golden 90s era. “Most of my favorite bands had either broken up or drastically changed their sound, and I was sad about it,” he shares.
Hulegaard’s resolve to keep those almost sacred sounds alive through Twelve Days in June culminates beautifully in ‘Hiraeth’, ensuring the magic of 90’s rock remains accessible for new generations.
