There Are No Words: June IND to release album June 3

Album artwork for June IND’s album There Are No Words features Heart Horse by mixed media artist Brandon Ahnert.

Lafayette, Indiana rock band June IND is scheduled to release There Are No Words on Friday, June 3. The thirteen-track compilation album of instrumental mixes will be available on Bandcamp and all music streaming platforms.

“Music-wise, it will be familiar to our folks,” says June IND percussionist Emily Larimer. “It’s a great showcase of the work we’ve put in crafting music for our songs; layering instruments and melodies. The songs sound cool with vocals, but they hold their own without them too. We hope this effort gives listeners a new perspective.”

The visual component of There Are No Words should also be familiar, collaboration-wise.

June IND partnered with mixed media artist Brandon Ahnert to develop album art and new merch. A photograph of Ahnert’s Heart Horse appears on the cover of There Are No Words. New merch including a 2D Heart Horse logo will be available soon on the NOISEtrends store.

“Whether he’s the visual to our music or we’re the soundtrack to his art, it’s always great to work with Brandon,” says guitarist Chris June. “He gets us and we’re big fans of his work.”

Pandemic thwarts recording plans, June IND releases new music instead

Well, that escalated quickly. Remember this (June IND to return to The Bombshelter in March to record new music)? We’re supposed to be at the Bombshelter Recording Studio recording with Dan Precision right now…

Timeline update:

  • Three weeks ago, we were still working on pre-production for the Vol. 3 tunes, planning how much food and bourbon to take to Chicago, etc.
  • Two weeks ago, we decided to pump the brakes and hunker down.
  • Last week we decided to release all of our Vol. 2 goodies.
  • This week (like, now), that happens.

Stay safe, everyone. Sending the best of vibes to you, the folks out of work and the folks still out working. If it helps, here’s some boogie:

Artist Brandon Ahnert Joins the First Annual Meeting of Optimists

It was a nice, cold/rainy November morning hanging out with artist Brandon Ahnert to work on “Ok, Alright,” inching us forward with our First Annual Meeting of Optimists Project. 

First Annual Meeting of Optimists is a multimedia art and music project featuring 13 new June IND tracks accompanied by song-inspired visuals from area artists.

As we did with artist Stacy Bogan, we reached out to Brandon by asking, “Can you paint the face of the person that this song is about.”

From there, we gave him a track, lyric sheet and a canvas, met up with him at his home studio, and hit record.


Connect with Brandon Ahnert on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!


“Ok, Alright” is a tribute to Main Street, mom & pop, shopping small, buying local, and everyone busting their ass to make a living.

You’ll be able to hear “Ok, Alright” & more First Annual Meeting of Optimists tunes LIVE on December 21, 9 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Saloon for People’s Live presents: YEARS / JUNE IND / What About Jim.
