Late June- Standing Still EP
The Standing Still EP was written last year during quarantine when Sonny (Late June) was spending a lot of time in a new environment, away from his traditional routine and the people in his life. While feeling frantic, being faced with time, and feeling a directional shift joining adulthood in isolation, he wrote the EP with a sense of urgency to find something new. As most of us did, Sonny began to rediscover his appreciation for the slowness of life as time passed and he made more time to exercise and explore nature, bringing him into the present moment. He realized that “standing still” was more powerful than urgently searching for the next thing, which really set him free. Synchronistically, not long after this he was contacted by Heroic Music Group! It’s amazing to see how once we stop to smell the roses, they bloom for us.
