Growing up in a Jamaican family in Florida, June McDoom was surrounded by reggae; but she found herself drawn to the sounds of 1960\'s and 1970\'s folk. Now based in New York, she\\xa0has released her debut EP, which surrounds those songs with touches of psychedelia, and arrangements that in their own homespun way seem to echo another sound of the 60s \\u2013 Phil Spector\\u2019s so-called "wall of sound". In her intimate acoustic musings, June McDoom\\u2019s voice rarely rises above a breathy croon, following its own melody regardless of the kaleidoscope of sounds behind her. McDoom and her band play in-studio.
