Today in bands that need way more recognition comes Joseph, a sister trio out of the Pacific Northwest (actually, a small town named Joseph in eastern Oregon.) I’d be happy for them coming from such a beautiful place if it meant they’d still tour on this side of the country, but from the looks of it nothing is planned right now. Ever since I caught Lucius opening for Milo Greene a couple years ago I’ve been looking for another band with deeply powerful female harmonies and vocals, and Joseph fits the bill. Their songs are elegant, compelling and potent. I haven’t been able to stop listening since finding them a couple days ago, and I imagine this feeling will last for at least another couple of weeks. Check out three of my favorites off their debut album, Native Dreamer Kin, below, and listen to the full thing on Bandcamp.
Great voices. I wish they would play in Brooklyn. Hell i’d find a show for them. Such peaceful perfection.
