NEW ALBUM: "Ashes" Now Available!

Posted on Mon, Nov 15, 2010

Admit it. You thought I was hibernating in a cave the past year, cranking out YouTube videos to maintain vague contact with the outside world, taking a break from the grueling process of releasing an album every year. You were only half right. I'm very happy to announce that my next CD, "Ashes" is now available!

 
You can download it (for free, of course) or buy a fancy shiny CD (name your own price) from my website here:

I'm thrilled with how it came out. I spent probably twice as much time as usual working on this one, and the end result is something I had no idea I was capable of. I hope you dig it, too.
 
Also, take a moment to check out my YouTube channel, where I just posted a video of the production process for the first track on the CD, "Let It In":

As always, I not only allow but encourage you to share this music with your friends, use it in your videos, and generally mangle it in any way you see fit. Thanks for all of your support over the past year - it's been an amazing ride, and I'm honored to have met so many of you great humans. Take care of yourselves, and I'd love it if you took a moment to let me know what you think of "Ashes"!

Already ordered
A couple of minutes ago, I ordered a physical copy of your new album without having listened to more than "Let it In" on YouTube. I'm really excited and as Ian already said, the cover art is absolutely great!

Amazing
Just finished listening to it once (thanks for sending flac links until this amazing cd can be shipped) I was very impressed even on this first impression. This album feels so different from the other albums and yet so familiar. I was especially pleased with "Let It In" and "Swimming in Turpentine", not because they are my favourite songs on this album, but because the very unexpected, yet highly appreciated style. I will have to listen to it a lot more and sort out my favourites and see how the songs grow and develop. Right now "Together On Our Own" and "A Thousand Skins (Part 1)" left the biggest impressions. They just "work" for me. I think the long time this album needed was very well spent. p.s.: Would it be possible for you to sign the new album before sending it? I think it would be cool to have an autographed album.

Amazing

Thanks a million, I'm so glad you like. And of course, I'll take a Sharpie to it when it goes out :)

The best album released so far
The second half + coda is fantastic. These are probably the best songs you ever have written.

This is right up there with NQC as my favorites, perhaps even -the- favorite. "Cherubs" is just brilliantly bittersweet.

You could buy the FLACs instead, if there is no possibility of receiving CDs in Iran. The quality is identical to CDs and you can download them over the internet. Not the same, but you get the best quality (as with CDs) while financially supporting Josh as well. Could be an option, if getting the CDs is out of the question.

What Torben said! I doubt I could easily get them to you in Iran, but you can get the FLACs from the store if you want. The MP3s are also encoded with high quality settings as well (I don't hear a difference, for what it's worth). Thanks a million for your support!

Josh is right. I haven't even looked at the mp3s, so I did not even think about them. The mp3s are encoded at 320kbps. This is as good as mp3 gets and you will most definitely not hear any difference. FLACs/CDs on the other hand have the advantage that you can reencode without quality loss. Reencoding from 320kbps mp3s should absolutely be of sufficient quality, although I prefer reencoding from flacs (but that might be some kind of placebo effect ;-)).

You could also check out the OGGs on jamendo, if you prefer OGG (as I do), which are encoded at a very high quality setting as well. Although OGGs are only available there via bittorrent. As you see, there really are several high quality options for you to choose from. :-)

you expect an artist to explode out of the blocks with album 1 then you hope they can maintain a level of excellence thru following albums until they release their masterpiece then fade serenely into the past ...... not true with Josh as following the explosion the fireworks havent ended yet and his star shows no sign of fading at all as masterpiece follows masterpiece ..... if only I could work out why his albums dont sell in their millions - amazing talent.
