"Songs From Purgatory", JUNE PANIC's 3-disc collection of previously unreleased
material has finally arrived! The material embodied on Songs From Purgatory was
recorded in vans, dank basements and tiny apartments in Grand Forks & Fargo,
North Dakota using crappy microphones on an even crappier 4-track machine. This
body of work showcases a songwriting and producing talent that perhaps was only
commercially held back by its medium - one which he initially embraced as a
matter of necessity, but eventually grew to deliberately embrace with the zeal
of a lo-fi revolutionary. According to June, "Over time, I came to appreciate
the sounds I was getting, and it dawned on me that recording in an expensive
studio is not somehow inherently superior to 'lo-fi' recordings - it is simply a
different medium."

Originally released as cassette-only albums on his own label 3 Out Of 4 Records,
June's master tapes were almost destroyed in the Great Flood of 1997 that
consumed Grand Forks. Over 200 master tapes sat submerged under the murky Red
River water for several days in his parents' basement until saved through a
painstaking cleansing process that is hilariously documented in the liner notes
to this collection. Brought into this world by June, taken out by the Flood,
then brought back by June, these songs have been re-mastered by the able hands
of the iconic KRAMER.
