Anahata is a studio album by Louisville-based math rock band June of 44, released on June 10, 1999, by Quarterstick Records.[1] [2]
Exclaim! called the album June of 44's "most satisfying outing to date, largely because they seem to have refocused their sweat and toil on writing songs — or riffs and motifs, to be more accurate."[3] Portland Mercury wrote that the band perfected "their squirrelly amalgam of post-rock and post-hardcore."[4] The Dallas Observer wrote that "the playing is uniformly excellent ([Doug] Scharin is one of rock's most underrated drummers) but not in the service of any particularly dynamic ideas."[5] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that the band's "tactic of flatly shouting its lyrics, often in unison, detracts from the musical backdrop."[6]
