Haunted Summer this week announced that “Whole” — their third album and first since 2017’s “Spirit Guides” — would be out June 21. That should be cause for much glee for those who have followed husband-and-wife collaborators John Seasons and Bridgette Eliza Moody since they released “1996” in 2013.

Even better, they have elevated the immersive, dreamy melancholy that has been their signature sound.

They introduce the album with a gorgeously gloomy video for “You Put My Love Out the Door,” made with director Geoff Ryan at Point Arena. “We wanted it to feel like you were in another world,” Seasons says. “We were truly blessed with the weather playing a starring role in the video — giving us all aspects of its beauty.”

The album will come out via Rain Phoenix’s LaunchLeft Records. She has this to say of the duo’s take on the Daniel Johnston song: “I think the song speaks to the lyrical theme of the rest of the album where you confront the ones that have hurt you, either intentionally or not. You don’t necessarily need an apology or even a reply, but just speaking your own piece gives you peace. And the fact that we were able to pull it together to release in time for Valentine’s Day made it even more special.”
