The Camden, N.J.-based band JUTAUN begins “My Dear” quietly, a cappella. As various instruments join in, the vocalists tell us to look for inspiration: “Listen for the sounds of restoration coming from the streets / Let it remind you you’re still alive.” When the song reaches an energetic peak of desk drumming and an electric guitar solo, the singers repeat the mantra, “You’re alive,” over and over again in three-part harmony. The phrase feels more powerful each time.

The group is comprised of brothers Jake and James Evans and Samoeun Cheng.
