Earth To Josh, the Northern NSW artist known for his psychedelic pop-rock sound, has unveiled 'Some Day', a poignant exploration of unrequited affection. This track, the first glimpse into his upcoming 'Josh to Earth B-Sides' EP, due in May, follows the momentum of his debut album, 'Josh to Earth'.
'Some Day' was born in the intimate space of a university practice room, its creation steeped in a dimly lit atmosphere that mirrors the song's introspective nature. The track is a piano-led lament, a stream of consciousness that grapples with the painful truth that love, however profound, doesn't always find its counterpart. Earth To Josh lays bare his vulnerability, crafting a piece that's both deeply personal and undeniably evocative.
As he expresses, "Some Day is Earth to Josh at his most vulnerable—a piano-driven lament soaked in bittersweet reflection. Deeply personal and undeniably evocative, the track unfolds in a delicate stream of consciousness, grappling with the reality that love, no matter how deeply felt, is never guaranteed to be returned."
The track's strength lies in its understated beauty. A simple, yet heart-wrenching melody is woven with tender piano chords and rich vocal harmonies, creating an air of wistful melancholy. Echoes of Coldplay's more reflective moments are evident, adding a familiar touch to the song's emotional landscape.
Earth To Josh has swiftly carved a niche for himself within the Australian indie/psych scene. His track 'In The Air' found a home on Spotify's Local Noise playlist, while 'All My Love' received airplay on Triple J, signalling his growing recognition. His recent performances supporting acts like The Grogans and Nice Biscuit have further solidified his reputation as a compelling live performer.
To accompany the release of 'Some Day', a live performance video, featuring the full Earth To Josh band, is set to drop on April 9th. This video will capture the raw energy and emotional depth that characterise his live shows.
If 'Some Day' is any indication, the 'Josh to Earth B-Sides' EP promises to be a collection that expands on his established sound and cements his standing as a storyteller who isn't afraid to embrace the complexities of human emotion.
