Toronto duo June The Destroyer return with โFind Me In The Morning,โ the fourth single leading into their debut album Hurry! arriving in early 2026, hits uncomfortably close to home in our screen-soaked era. Written in lockdown and reshaped in the world that came after, the song captures the daily tug-of-war with our vices, the screen, the scroll, the dopamine drip that greets us before weโre even fully awake. It pleads for the fleeting moment before the digital world devours us, with that small window of true presence we barely notice until itโs gone.
As the track unfolds, June The Destroyer dives deeper into the modern malaise, with identity shaved down by constant self-presentation, nostalgia loops, and algorithmic longing. The chorus, โif only romance was enough to keep us from our graves,โ lands like a sigh for something softer, slower, untouched by technologyโs grip. But of course, the pull is stronger. Before long, the spiral becomes ritual in the line, โand every morning, I pray unto the apps,โ which turns doomscrolling into a dark devotion.
Musically, the song mirrors that evolution. It begins with gentle guitar strums and light frolicking piano. The husky, tender, introspective male voice enters first, before the female vocal arrives like a beam of unexpected musicality. Her soft, gorgeous tone floats with breathtaking grace, effortlessly floating in the ranges in her delicate, breathy, and sensual layers. As the arrangement blossoms, spaced-out piano echoes, reversed guitar textures, and choral vocal bursts push the track from folk introspection into widescreen folk-rock euphoria. Itโs jubilant, even as it masks the ugliness beneath endless information.
By the end, โFind Me In The Morningโ confronts a beautifully disorienting portrait of being forever online, delivered with June The Destroyerโs trademark irony, melancholy, and emotional precision.
