"An endlessly varied and accomplished album that sees the Remnant Kings at the top of their game, and shows just why Jon Boden is one of the most lauded folk musicians this century".

"While 2009's Songs from the Floodplain and 2017's Afterglow mined dark themes of post-oil and ecologically driven social collapse, Rose in June takes a step away from apocalypse for an energetic mix of traditional songs, including the epic title-track (...), as well as typically dramatic accounts of 'Rigs of the Time' and 'Seven Bonnie Gypsies'. There's several fine tunes, too, including the Glam-rock-meets-trad of 'Leviathan', and two fine covers, one from Ewan MacColl and the other Kate Bush's 'Hounds of Love'. With a road-hardened ten-strong Remnant Kings having already played these new songs on many a stage, there's a palpable electricity and intuitive group dynamics lifting these performances ... There's a few tracks here, including 'Beating the Bounds', that already sound like 21st century folk rock classics".
