Junebeetle paints heartbreak in unexpected colors with “Orange”

Junebeetle’s “Orange” is the sound of being left behind, but the pulse is still unmistakably alive. As the artist’s third song, it’s a sign of a growing confidence in blending energetic indie electronic textures with softer emotional edges. Its character is derived from an unusual contrast between wispy vocals floating over banjo and multilayered synths. “Orange” never fits neatly into one genre box, and that is part of its strength.
