I’m pleased to announce that my new album, Jacaranda, will be released this August of 2008. It’s a full length work, measuring in with 15 new songs that will just about fill an hour your time. You can hear two of the new tracks right here on my myspace, but you’ll have to wait until August to hear the rest. Excerpt from Josh Garrels’s Blog.
What else ? I’m not sure, it’s useful to introduce Josh Garrels… Indeed, as I’m just discovering his previous full length Over Oceans release in 2006, I guess I’m not the only one to be late on this amazing voice from Indiana. I’m always confused dealing with music and religion - mostly due to my atheism - but no matter, Josh inspiration - his music is mostly labeled as Christian - Gospel, I do agree his god is giving him a beautiful inspiration. Josh’s music mixes folk hip-hop, neo-soul and electronica : a sweet blending that sometimes lean on Stevie Wonder and sometimes on Ben Harper.
Find below two audio tracks : Decision from Over Oceans, and Don’t Wait for Me from the forthcoming Jacaranda, and a video : Train Song !
Artist : Josh Garrels
Label : Small Voice
Where to Buy : Pre-order Jacaranda right on Josh home page - CdBaby.com
Looking forward to it! I’ve admired Josh’s music for a looooong time now.
I really dug “Zion & Babylon” from the samples on his site. Can’t wait!
I’ve never been one to listen to anything resembling Christian music either Olly….just not my thing. I am not overly religious….however gave Over Oceans a listen and wow is this guy really talented. I just love his voice. Nice find.
